Customer Reviews

I staple in our household for decades. Every Christmas eve we read Giant Grummer’s Christmas. Simply

Somebody please republish this book!

I agree with all the reviews posted. I can still recite passages from "Granny Glittens & Her Amazing Mittens" ("We are sorry. The Store") and "Giant Grummers Christmas". "Christmas Through a Knot-Hole" is my favorite, however. My mother read the stories in A Tall Book of Christmas out loud to all her five children, and I have read them to my two. Would someone please republish this book before I have grandchildren?!

The Best Kids Book for Christmas

This was the best Christmas book of my childhood. Such great stories as: Granny Glitens and Her Amazing Mittens, Christmas for Bears and, my favorite: Giant Grummers Christmas. (...) Get it!

A wonderful Christmas compilation!

I loved this book as a child, and would like to find copies to give to my children, nieces, nephews, and others. The book is tall and narrow in shape, thus the title, and contains many Christmas stories that are fun to read over and over each Christmas season. The Giant Grummer, Granny Glittens and the Amazing Mittens, Christmas through the Knothole all spring to mind though I haven't seen the book in 20 years! I hope someone will republish this wonderful collection!

A Childhood Must-Have for Christmas

The Tall Book of Christmas was THE book of my childhood during christmas season. I can still (at almost 35) recite some of the words. I would highly recommend anyone to buy it. Its a really wonderful piece of creative, imaginative, and diverse children's literature. I own it, I'd buy it again and I think that this book is timeless. Stories are all well suited for children and adults don't lose interest when reading it. We read it over and over until the pages were worn. I wish mom had bought two copies when they were in print. Buy it no matter the price. Its PRICELESS!!!
