Toddler-PreS–This story shows that the true meaning of the holidays is family and togetherness. An adult and child bunny decorate their home to prepare for Christmas. The pair bond while making gingerbread houses, pumpkin pies, pudding, cake, and cookies. They also go outside for sledding and to create snow bunnies from the falling snow, then join in caroling with family members who have come over to celebrate. This story is told in rhyming verse that will bring a smile to readers’ faces. Images of snow-covered trees and bright Christmas colors throughout the bunnies’ home put readers into the holiday spirit. James’s familiar bunny characters depict the wonderful bond between loved ones. This Keepsake Edition includes pages that invite personalization, including a blank letter-writing page in the back matter.
VERDICT A great addition to children’s library collections based on the story line, but note that personalization elements may make it more suitable for gifting instead of lending.
