Despite the cold and snow, the chickadees are excited. "It's Christmas!" they tell Little Bunny. Then they fly off before they explain what it is. A deer, a wolf, and an owl all know a tiny bit about the mysterious thing called Christmas, and decide to join Little Bunny in his search. Following a shining star, the animals come to a cheery, well-lit stable with smoke rising from its chimney, and of course the Holy Family is inside-clean, cheerful, cozy, and content. Children will likely not quibble over the geographical inaccuracy, or the motel-like stable. The real story here is in the animals joining together on a quest. Their dialogue is simple and natural, and the pictures will carry in a storytime setting. The furry creatures are charmingly depicted in softly textured pastels against bluish snowy backgrounds.-Linda Israelson, Los Angeles Public Library
