COPY ISBN
Toddler-PreS–Young readers help Polar Bear and his friends find Christmas ornaments scattered throughout Polar Bear’s garden, bedroom, and attic to decorate his Christmas tree. The hunt is engaging and interactive: On each page, children can lift several flaps to uncover hidden surprises and ornaments. A different friend joins the search on each page, adding to the excitement. Repetitive text ensures that even the younger children can easily follow along, and although the text is a bit small, it is well-suited to the book’s purpose of encouraging exploration and discovery. Illustrations are busy in a fun and captivating way; they perfectly match the playful nature of the story. Additionally, the back cover features a QR code that families can scan to listen to the story online. The fun of look-and-find seamlessly combines with a classic holiday story to make this book a must-have for families.
VERDICT A fantastic purchase for all libraries, sure to be widely circulated during the festive season.
