A Treasured Christmas Book #18
Different author, but a relative, and same illustrator ... how unique is that?!?
Okay, I'm a cat lover, have always been and so its no surprise I bought this treasure when I was a kid. The story always makes me cry, a kitty left alone in the woods, but there's a happy ending with a saucer of milk to come.

A Treasured Christmas Book #16
The second book has different images and is also setup differently ... they have elaborately framed medallions. Each page is unique and looks nothing like the first.

Can an illustrator approach the same story in two different way? Yes, actually, Tasha Tudor does this with the next book and I'll share both ... yes, I have both in my collection, acquired nine years apart.
The first one I got was...
The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore Tasha Tudor
This is a hardcover picture book without a jacket and each page was a painting.

The female character, the star of this series, is so very spectacular I have a stuffed version of her on my desk to remind me it's all possible ... yes, that's only one of the many lessons she teaches in her fun books.
Olivia Helps with Christmas by Ian Falconer
The antics of Olivia and her family are hilarious and fun, making this a must read .... then again I'm biased, I think this is a must read series for every girly!

A Treasured Christmas Book #11
A series from the 40's was republished and I was able to collect all but three, yes, those three haunt me and I still look for them. While this is one of two books of mine that aren't first edition, it is a first edition of the republished set. Told you I'm a big book collector!

Tasha Tudor is a long time favorite author and illustrator of mine. She and a relative will make more appearance before Christmas. In later years her drawings became a little less precise but remain treasured.

I remember when I was young going to a Christmas Festival with my mom. She was all up for seeking a jam, chutney or something like that, I was after books. I came back with one and it's signed by the author and illustrator ... cool!
