Busy Betty & the Perfect Christmas Present

PreS-Gr 2–Busy Betty, with her blonde pigtails, big blue eyes, and round pink glasses, is chock-full of enthusiasm. In her third adventure, it’s Christmas, and Betty doesn’t have two coins to clank together, but she wants to find the perfect gifts for her parents; her brother, Bo; and her pug, Frank. What can she do to raise money? Sell homemade Christmas cookies, of course! Betty and her best friend Mae ran a lemonade stand last summer. The friends renew their entrepreneurial spirit and overcome challenges of starting a business in the middle of winter. That is, until Frank accidentally gets his antlers caught on the cookie stand, causing a colorful cookie catastrophe. With her growth mindset, Betty overcomes the disaster and bakes the perfect gift for each member of her family. Jubilant illustrations are digitally rendered. All of the main characters are white. Back matter includes a recipe for Christmas Cereal Surprise Cookie Bars.
