Toddler-PreS–In Spot’s latest adventure, the puppy helps his family decorate for Christmas, but wanders off to find a star to top the tree. In a fun series of lift-the-flaps, Spot and his parents discover holiday favorites, from Christmas cookies baking in the oven to merry carolers at the door. Mom finds Spot by the tree, where he’s recovered the star, just in time for the party to begin. A variety of animal friends join Spot and his family for tasty treats laid out on a festive table. Christmas references are secular, with a cheery “Merry Christmas, everyone!” concluding the story. Hill’s bright colors and bold outlines are a treat to the eye, and each flap brings a delightful reveal that babies and toddlers will enjoy.
VERDICT A surefire bet for Spot fans and those who enjoy a festive Christmas story.
