This little one wants to do all he can to help with Christmas, despite his age. :) I love the helpfulness theme, though sometimes it goes awry. It's a cute Christmas-themed story, and you'll especially like it if you're a Mercer Mayer fan. :)

4.5

Little Critter books take me way back... and this one is delightfully silly and a great reminder that kids (generally) have the best of intentions, even if they sometimes go awry. There's lots to look at in the illustrations on each page and relatively little text, so it's a fun one for little readers who can take in lots of the story for themselves.
