Review
Cute forest animals locate a package dropped from Santa's sleigh and make the night delivery. In addition to the good dead they shared it is conversation and problem solving that makes this a good holiday read for youngsters. The animals worked together to achieve the goal and were indeed rewarded.
The bright and shadowed illustrations highlight the winter cold yet all the pages express hope. This sweet story may be just the thing for those families who only celebrate the secular parts of Christmas. Gift to children who love forest animals.
Overall Book Score: good
