My Very Merry Ugly Christmas Sweater: A Touch-and-Feel Book

12 pp. | Little Simon | September, 2020 | Trade ISBN 978-1-5344-7678-3 $9.99
(2) PS Illustrated by Julia Green. In board book form, Burton and Green make merry about that Christmastime fashion staple, the ugly sweater. The brief (and slight) rhyming text, spoken by a handful of creatures, describes each one's look. Some lines are descriptive: "My Christmas sweater is merry and bright," says a reindeer sporting a green-and-red turtleneck festooned with ornaments and tinsel. Some employ wordplay: "My Christmas sweater is fa-la-la-llama-y," says a llama in understated red stripes, tangled up in lights. Per the jacket, this book is a "touch and feel" (but un-felt in the digital e-galley); the spirited illustrations, with their lightly textured backgrounds, are enough to put viewers in the party spirit.
