Christmas

by Ruth Thomson

Published 30 August 1990
Looking at the subject of Christmas through the childhood memories of four generations of the same family, this book begins with two twins preparing for Christmas 1993. They wrap their presents, make cards, open the advent calendar and decorate the tree. The change in emphasis of religious to secular traditions is shown as the book moves back through the generations. A timeline runs through the book and it contains a things-to-do section.

Part of a series which has a novel approach to the presentation of information combining learning and enjoyment. Using colour photographs and a split-card approach. The lower part of the page is split and contains a sentence which relates to just one of the photographs. The reader has to match the two. The book can be used in a very wide and varied way - particularly for readers with special needs.
