Children’s Book Review: Just Right for Christmas by Birdie Black and Rosalind Beardshaw

How does one roll of beautiful soft red cloth make five Just Right Christmas gifts? All the way from the King who bought the soft red cloth to the tiniest mouse that lived in a tree! Precious gifts for Christmas were made from soft red scraps snipped and stitched by many hands and paws.

Beginning in a market, this sweet story with beautiful illustrations takes us through each step from a princess’s cloak to a mouse’s scarf. The illustrations create a fun picture book. For beginning readers the text is easily readable.

“Jenny, the castle maid, had finished work for the day. What should 

she see on her way home but a big bundle of beautiful red scraps?”
