A cozy collection of holiday verse Who is that knocking at the door? It's old Father Fox with surprises galore Licorice & lollipops, lemons & limes A bundle of toys & a bag full of rhymes... Over thirty years ago, Father Fox's Pennyrhymes became an instant classic and was a National Book Award Finalist. Now Father Fox returns with new rhymes especially for yuletide that conjure up the excitement and mystery of the season: playing in the snow, making hot apple cider, hiding presents — all at the warm and loving home of the Fox family. The verses feel like classic children's rhymes, and rich paintings capture all the cheer and beauty of Christmastime.
