Stephanie- Glad you enjoyed these. :)
Oh, that comb is breathtaking! Too bad I don’t have enough hair!

Martha, this is such a clever and creative way to do a gift guide.
Love that story.
One of my favorite stories. The best version is the 1982 one illustrated by Lizbeth Zwerger. Are you familiar with her? Later editions have the same art but not the tall format of the original.
You can see it and others of her books, here:
