Young Polly Flowerdew, an orphan, is having a little trouble adjusting to life in an English seaport town with her two loving but protective spinster aunts. But it’s the holiday season, and the imaginative little girl dreams of three special ships sailing into the harbor on Christmas morning, just like in the classic carol. Against her aunts’ wishes, she keeps a window open in their cottage on Christmas Eve, in case the wise men should arrive. When they awaken on that magical morning, Polly and her aunts discover more than one Christmas miracle! A heartwarming and charmingly old-fashioned tale enriched with masterful storytelling and wonderful illustrations, I Saw Three Ships is a great holiday read-aloud for the whole family! (And it’s a good solo-reading chapter book for children ages 9 to 12.)
