I recently joined a choir and we started practising Christmas carols for our next concert. Although it felt strange to be singing carols in September it reminded me how beautiful they are, the music and words so evocative of many happy Christmases. I am delighted to share with you The Very Young Person’s Guide to Christmas Carols, a brand new book, recently published by DK Books.

A Very Young Person’s Guide to Christmas Carols

Join Arthur and Holly on an adventure to save Christmas accompanied by 10 sound clips of beloved carols.

The third book in the series of books from DK & Classic FM’s partnership, The Very Young Person’s Guide to Christmas Carols completes the trio of heart-warming kids’ stories with music at the push of a button. Check out our previous review of The Very Young Person’s Guide to Ballet Music last year.

Pull on your mittens and follow our heroes as they explore beautiful scenes inspired by some of the best loved Christmas carols, including Silent Night, Good King Wenceslas, Carol of the Bells, Once In Royal David’s City, and O Holy Night. Original illustrations capture the beautiful story of the carols, while the sound button brings the iconic music pieces to life. Every spread features fascinating facts about festive carols and their origins and is guaranteed to delight and inspire.

This is the perfect Christmas gift for music lovers with a little one in their life! A Very Young Person’s Guide to Christmas Carols by Tim Lihoreau & Philip Noyce. Published by DK Books on 5th September 2024, priced £20.00.
