Though this book is quite the easy read, the illustrations throughout this book are quite beautiful due to its representation of Christmas and the meaning behind the holidays. This book consists of a  detailed story on the song Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. The book’s illustrations are filled with beautiful detailed imagery which depict the love and joy of the holidays. Because this book does not have an intended storyline, it is an easy read and can be taught in many ways including reading the book with the song itself.
