Shirley J. Juvenile Literature A little critter tries to do a bunch of christmasy things
Merry Christmas Mom and Dad by Mercer Mayer 24 pages
A little critter ( it is a series of books about this little fellow and his adventures) of indistinguishable origin, he might be a squirrel, or an opossum, or a porcupine, the book doesn't say and you can't really tell from the illustrations so critter is fitting. He is some kind of critter. Anyhow, he is little and he really has great intentions of being a good helper, but, intentions only go so far and his patience, endurance and skill are all laking that stick-to-itiveness to follow through and complete the task he has at hand ie, wrapping presents (the tape is too sticky), untangling the Christmas tree lights forget it - is anyone good at that? baking cookies, nope none of his attempts see the completion but his heart is in the right place, right? Kids will like it and it is geared for the birth to 5 year old set. It might amuse up to 8 year olds, I think. Beyond that probably not.
