Query: There are better Xmas books.

As a Christmas collection go, it's fair at best. I bought this book because the list of illustrators sounded interesting.Sometimes these compilations work, sometimes not. Unfortunately, it's a not in this case.It does not showcase the listed illustrators' best work. Not surprising the best illustration is on the cover and its the ONLY one by Gustafson. And the stories are the same ones to be had in any of a million Christmas collections.Collectors and libraries, don't waste your bookshelf space.Treat this as a large Christmas card (and don't pay more than the cost of an Xmas card)to be given to young children and you won't be disappointed. And if the kids crayon in it, who cares.
