A lot of Santa books leave me cold, but Marla Frazee works magic with any subject she tackles, and this is no exception. Here, Santa wears a fantastic variety of...are these boxers? Shorts?

Pierre the Penguin: A True Story
AuthorJean Marzollo
ISBN1585364851
This is a lovely book for penguin lovers and those interested in aquatic biology, but it’s not ideal for those who get too upset about captive animals.

Oh, I’ve rarely been so torn about a book.

I’ve seen Pierre the penguin and his 19 fellow penguins at the Academy of Sciences....

Flight of the Dodo
AuthorPeter Brown
ISBN0316110388
This is a perfect book for kids who are at the ages when poop is funny and/or fascinating. There are a lot of poop jokes in here.

I suspect that certain children are liable to go into fits of the giggles over this book.

It’s also effective as a story that talks about taking risks, solving...
The Christmas Quiet Book
AuthorDeborah Underwood
ISBN0547558635
Even though I thoroughly enjoyed The Quiet Book and The Loud Book!, and I’d had this one recommended to me by at least one Goodreads’ friend, I wasn’t planning to read it any time soon, but when I was at the library yesterday, there is was sitting on one of the featured shelves, and so I grabbed it and...
Santa Duck
AuthorDavid Milgrim
ISBN0399250182
This is a cute, fun little story about a duck who inadvertently becomes "Santa" for awhile. The humor reminds me a bit of Mo Willems with amusing little asides and kooky but lovable animal characters. I also love that the "spirit of giving" is alive in this book--but so is the joy of receiving! It's all well...
Fletcher and the Snowflake Christmas
AuthorJulia Rawlinson
ISBN0061990337
I’m thinking no Fletcher book will ever match Fletcher and the Falling Leaves but I do think I enjoyed this one more than Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms. It’s a sweet Christmas story, a fine enough story for this Fletcher series, and I loved the illustrations.

Fletcher, always helpful,...
