Illustrated by
Tamsin Ainslie.
A little girl and her toy lamb prepare for Christmas while an offstage narrator showers her with love: "When you wrap your gifts... / That's when I love you." The book's small, square trim size; generous white space on well-composed double-page spreads; and cheerful illustrations full of eye-pleasing colors and patterns combine to make an attractive package for the youngest reader.
