Mr. Lynch, one of my favorite illustrators, brings this story to life. Eventually I would like to own all the picture books he has illustrated.
Della wants to give her husband the perfect gift but only has $1.87. On Christmas Eve she decides to sell her luxurious hair. Her husband Jim loves her hair, but she reasons, it will grow back. With the twenty dollars she buys Jim the perfect gift. Exchanging gifts that evening, each couple is surprised!
Although this short story is a picture book, the vocabulary and sentence structure are perfect for high schoolers and adults.
*Highly, highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
