Review
Sister bunnies share preparations for Christmas but it is talkative and older Greta who determines most of their activities. Gracie knows the value of being quiet and going slow, as a result she has the personal interaction with Santa on Christmas Eve. The artwork is digital offering a whimsical appearance to the colorful illustrations. Lots of white space make the illustrations pop. An attention to detail is noted especially on the pages where the house is dark. While the story is slight it will be recognizable to many children with siblings. Add to libraries who collect holiday titles and gift to families with sisters.
Overall Book Score: good
