Little Critter and his little sister are busy getting ready for Christmas. They have both written their letters to Santa and mailed them all the way to the North Pole. The family has decorated their Christmas tree, picked out gifts for each other, visited with grandparents and joined the neighbors for a carol sing. This story introduces Christmas traditions that many of its young readers will not have experienced. This is a delightful tool for grandparents to share Christmas memories with their grandchildren. The simple drawings and the rich colors will captivate young readers. Fold-out flaps extend the illustrations on each double-page spread. A good buy for libraries, as well as a good holiday gift. 2004, HarperFestival/HarperCollins, Ages 4 to 8.

February 24, 2009: I bought this series for my son a long time ago and now I buy them for my granddaughter. She loves to learn to read and this is a great place to start. The book is very colorful and busy enough to keep a young child entertained while you read it to them. This series always have a good teaching story that children can learn to relate to. I also love the expressions on the characters faces. This is the kind of book that I keep in my library to pass down to future grandchildren and great grandchildren.
