A review by pwbalto
Christmas in the Barn by Margaret Wise Brown

5.0

HOW did Margaret Wise Brown always do this? What key did she have to constructing sentences that descend into calm like a baby being gently lowered into a crib? Her strings of short clauses, the occasional internal rhyme, all of it creates a hypnotic, reverential read aloud that is nevertheless clear-eyed and unsentimental.

Bow to the master.
