This is a cute story with a good rhyme, but sometimes the illustrations are the star of a book and this is one of them. The illustrations are great and the looks on the animals’ faces as they are trying to push Santa out of the chimney are hilarious! The combo of the story and the illustrations are going to make you want to read this story again and again. Ages 3-6.

This is a spin on the Goldilocks version, but with no Goldilocks. The bears make some gingerbread cookies, but they are too hot, so they go for a walk on Christmas Eve while they wait for the cookies to cool off. Someone comes to their house, however, while they are out and eats their gingerbread. There are clues while they are on their walk that Santa is in the neighborhood as well as clues left around the house that point to Santa being the one who ate the cookies. This is a cute story that is also a good book to work with kids on making predicitons. I got this one at the library. Ages 2-5.
Kids love it when you change the words to songs and that is what this book is all about. Songs such as “Our Friendly Mailman” set to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman”, “Toy Catalogs” set to the tune of “O Tannenbaum” and “Something in My Brother’s Underpants” set to the tune of “Winter Wonderland”. Liam thought most of the songs were hilarious. Two thumbs up! I got this one at the library. Ages 3-8.
