Stories of the Great Christmas Carols.(Book Review)
Stories of the Great Christmas Carols, by Kenon Renfrow and June Montgomery. Alfred Publishing Co., Inc. (16320 Roscoe Blvd., Ste. 100, Van Nuys, CA 91410), 2003. 56pp. $8.50. Late elementary to early intermediate.
Stories of the Great Christmas Carols is written for late-elementary to early-intermediate students. It is one of three in a series including Stories of the Great Composers for elementary-level students and Stories of the Great Hymns, for late-elementary to early-intermediate students.

In turn, each Christmas carol is preceded by a story about how that carol has evolved.
