Gorgeous illustrations, and it makes me want to rewatch that snowy episode of Gilmore Girls where everyone sleeps over at Lorelei’s inn and there are horse-drawn carriages。 ❄️✨

This picture book is overly lengthy for the minimal story, but the illustrations are nice and it is fairly unusual to have a book about New Year's Eve。 This picture book is overly lengthy for the minimal story, but the illustrations are nice and it is fairly unusual to have a book about New Year's Eve。 。。。more

Being from the South, I'd never heard of First Night。 You really can learn so much from picture books! Highly recommended and should be featured in all art classes as an example of ART。 Ages 3 and up。 。。。more
