3.86 STARS from 14 GoodReaders
This is a cute little book for the preschool and under crowd (although my two kiddos were the ones who pulled it down from the library shelves -- they're 7 and 9.)
The color scheme is predominantly red and green as you might expect. And the principle subjects are an sweet baby elf with big brown eyes and an impish grin. His buddy is an equally adorable mouse with a cheerful red ribbon around his/her neck.
The book is a sturdy boardbook 18 pages in length. There is rhyme on every other page The lyrics are pretty good and the book as a whole makes for a Good Read-aloud. Here's a sample:

Christmas is the time to make...
some sweet gift to give away
with lots of love on
Christmas Day.
Now given how nice this book is, there are some things that some people are going to wish were included. For one, there are no religious references in this book, and given the origins of the holiday some are going to see that as an oversight. For others there might be a problem with the fact that the little elf receives his friend, the mouse, as a gift. But too each their own. I liked the book, as did my 7 and 9 year olds. They thought the two buddies were so sweet.
Sweet boardbook for those celebrating baby's first Christmas. The artwork is delightful, and there are nice sentiments like giving to others, and sharing kisses and hugs.
Young children will love the baby and mouse duo. They will also love to see the two sing and dance, and look with wonder at the fairies who sit in the branches of the Christmas Tree holding colorful lights. And mommies and daddies will love the last verses:
