Holly's Christmas Eve by Wendy Watson

This story was charming. We see Christmas night through the eyes of an ornament. Old fashioned glass and wood ornaments at that. A Bad Cat gets into the tree and causes a search for a lost arm that is eventually mended by Santa. This story was light hearted and heartwarming. It’s a perfect christmas tale.

Bedtime Bunnies by Wendy Watson

With wonderful sound words like zip and pop, and bright illustrations this book will be a hit with kids as they watch the bunnies go about their routines of getting ready for bed. A great book for early readers.
