Publisher's Weekly Review

Based on the 1872 Christmas carol "In the Bleak Midwinter" by poet Rossetti, this illustrated edition combines previously published artwork and unseen art from the late dePaola's personal collection. The artist's trademark style brings charm to the classic poem, with photographed three-dimensional dioramas set alongside traditional illustrations rendered in vibrant washes of color. The book offers multiple depictions of characters and scenes; in one memorable spread, the Virgin Mary and Jesus are shown in four different styles surrounded by the text, "But only His mother/ In her maiden bliss// Worshipped the Beloved/ With a kiss." DePaola fans will rejoice in having this lush, multilayered illustration of a classic hymn for their collection. Ages 4--8. (Sept.)
