Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose . . .
Presents the popular Christmas song, with illustrations focusing on family togetherness.

I have an aversion to Christmas music, especially too early in the year (before mid December), and even then I'm pretty particular about what I want to hear. This is at the top of the list. Simply the most beautiful voice, singing the best songs of the season. This reissue has a few bonus tracks, including the "duet" with his daughter Natalie, done through the magic of recording technology. Best Christmas music out there, period.
Nicely illustrated version of the classic Christmas song.

Although I have fond memories of listening to this classic song as a child—my parents had the Nat King Cole version—I don't know that I would ever have picked up this picture book presentation, were it not on a list of Christmas carol picture books that I started a while back. Of course, it's not so much a Christmas carol as a Christmas song, but still, I was curious to see what Barrette would do with the task. I'm so glad I gave it a chance, as I found The Christmas Song: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire delightful! The artwork is somewhat flat, but in a very appealing, stylized way. I'm not sure I can correctly describe the medium, and the colophon here doesn't give any helpful information, but I thought these visuals were simply lovely. I recommend this one to fans of the song, and to picture book readers looking for fun Christmas fare. It pairs very nicely with a recording of the song being sung.… (meer)
