Description: CHRISTMAS EVE written by EDITH THACHER HURD iIlustrated by CLEMENT HURD This is a lovely version of the classic story of animals coming to meet the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The Hurds created many wonderful children's books, together and with other collaborators. Clement is best known for his art for Margaret Wise Brown's GOODNIGHT MOON.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and not on distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference. Thanks for looking!
