EDITORIAL :
From School Library Journal K-Gr 2–Nonni Lidia tells her five grandkids about what Christmas was like in Italy when she was a child, with a juniper bush hung with real fruit, cinnamon sticks, and cookies. She so successfully evokes the fun and the tantalizing smells that the children decide to decorate their tree the same way. Bastianich, a television chef and cookbook author, clearly bases this story on her own family and experiences, and she includes plenty of delicious, if somewhat challenging, cookie recipes. The illustrations show round-faced, beaming family members cooking, eating, and celebrating together. A cheerful depiction of the making and sharing of holiday traditions.Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library © Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

REVIEW :
Overall this was a good read; however, there were some points I respectfully disagree with the approach presented especially in regards to social media.. The only other negative is also sort of a positive - because of the nice heavy weight paper used and the hard cover - this thing is heavy to tote around in my purse. Great value!. It will fill gaps in behind the scenes daring do with a philosophical analysis of the events. Well worth a place on your bookshelf.. All with a positive message.. We also have the ability to put memories like those away so we can go on about our lives as if that could never happen again. Whereas in the Beuscher volumes YOU figure out the bass, but the “songs” fit on one (small) page. Dahl’s arrangement calls for sixteenth- and even 32nd-notes in the bass; Hallar’s version only calls for staccato “chunks.”
I agree
