"On the 26th Day of Christmas.....You May Want to Buy Songbooks of Carols for Next Christmas!"

When you start looking for a good collection of Christmas Carols that can easily be used by children and adults, this is the right copy. In this colorful collection, illustrated by Stephen Cartwright of Usborne Publishing, you will find angels serenading every one of the 30 songs which contain the music and the lyrics for several verses. There is also one page showing the guitar chord diagrams, so that if you are the guitarist, you will be able to provide the accompaniments. Economically, this book is also a value, considering the children or adults will want their own copies of this book. By far, it's a good value. So, it's a long way to Christmas; well, it is good to be prepared.
