BUYING ADVISORY: NOT RECOMMENDED
A little bear and his bear dad are getting ready for Christmas. Along with other forest animals they find cute little trees and celebrate the holiday season.
As adorable as the illustrations are, I can not recommend this book. First of all it is a reprint of a picture book, so it is very wordy on every page. Second, it comes a whole year of time, so it is trying to do too much. Third, the bears dig up a tree from the forest (good), replant it after they are done (good), but then they dig it up again the next Christmas! BAD! SO BAD! Leave that poor tree in the ground after you use it once. I just can’t. And I haven't even mentioned how put out the bear dad seems in every illustration - he only smiles four times in the whole book.
