Christmas Time by Alison Jay

Jay's signature style of painting with muted, antique colours and a crackled-varnish effect is showcased exquisitely in this deceptively simple tour de force filled with tiny, hidden surprises to delight inquisitive readers* Kirkus *
'Perhaps the best part of this book is that it carries with it the magic of Christmas: the unexpected, the warmth, the wonder.' -- Ilene Cooper * Booklist *
'Sharp-eyed viewers will find much to enjoy throughout.' -- Lolly Robinson * Horn Book *
'will test the powers of adult imagination while expanding the imaginative realm of children.' * Sunday Business Post *
This gorgeous Christmas book was recommended to us [...] and it is already well on the way to becoming a festive family favourite. Each turn of the thick, cardboard pages uncovers another gorgeous example of author Alison Jay's distinctive artwork, with just a single word caption on each to help set the scene. And it's these scenes that deliver the charm of the book - drawn with a period style complete with a cracked paint finish, each picture allows you to create your own stories with your children... [...] Apparently this is just one of a series of similar books from Alison Jay - we'll certainly be looking for the rest. -- Kate Hudson * The Bath and Wiltshire Parent *

Alison Jay is a graduate of the London College of Printing and the critically acclaimed illustrator of many books for children, including The Nutcracker, Welcome to the Zoo and Nursery Rhyme Rainbow.
