Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas

The inspiration for the beloved Jim Henson film is back in print after over 40 years.
Â
In 1977, when Jim Henson debuted the now-classic film Emmet Otterâ€™s Jug-Band Christmas, few knew it was based on a story written and illustrated by Russell and Lillian Hoban, creators of Bread and Jam for Frances and other treasured childrenâ€™s books. With an enduring score by the great Paul Williams, the movie remains a holiday tradition in homes across America. Now the book that started it all is back in print, in a beautiful gift edition that will thrill Muppets fans young and old.
Â
Inspired by the classic tale â€œThe Gift of the Magi,â€ the story begins in a poor country cottage, as Emmet Otter dreams of buying Ma a piano for Christmas, while Ma dreams of buying Emmet a guitar. When a village talent contest is announced, both imagine their dreams coming true. But what they donâ€™t imagine finding is their real rewardâ€”the power of love, family, and hope in hard times. It is a story that reaches into a readerâ€™s heart and reminds us all that fortune favors the brave.
