The Animals Merry Christmas book warms the holiday heart
A reader fondly recalls The Animals Merry Christmas first published in 1950 and its enduring appeal. Kathryn Jackson's English flavored tales with Richard Scarry illustrations entertain children at bedtime and spark memories of family reading. The writer shares how copies remain available via Amazon or eBay and mentions rereading The Naughty Little Reindeer with his family. A plug invites attendance at the Symphony's Carolina Christmas Concert on December 21, with tickets via the Hendersonville Symphony Office.
