24 Christmas carols – that's quite enough for every household. With all the verses and music for singing them properly, including guitar chords. And because the book has been illustrated by four very original graphic artists – Rotraut Susanne Berner, Quint Buchholz, Axel Scheffler and Binette Schroeder – every page is a delight. 24 surprises, like an advent calendar. No two angels looks alike, and the shepherds are real characters in colourful coats. And Mary and Joseph don't look too pious, either. And here's something else you won't find in any other Christmas songbook: a continuous 24-part picture story between songs with an animal orchestra that grows every day. Turn a page a day, and you have an unusual advent calendar, too.
