Favorite Characters Return for Christmas!

Berenstain, Jan and Mike.
The Berenstain Bears' Old-fashioned Christmas.
September 2012.
Harper Collins Publishers.

 The Berenstain Bears' return in this holiday tale which will provide both parents and children with much enjoyment.  Throughout the story, many activities are incorporated in the Bears' holiday celebration and suggested for readers and their families to try, as a way to bring old-fashioned ideas into today's modern world.  I loved the ideas suggested, many of are still done to this day by my family and will continue to be done in the future!  A new must-have family read this holiday season!

Drummond, Ree.
Charlie and the Christmas Kitty.
September 2012.
Harper Collins Publishers.

When a Christmas present turns out to be a new kitty at the ranch, poor Charlie is in for an awakening he never expected.  However, Charlie took the new kitty in stride and learned to find a way to like the kitty that arrived at the ranch for Christmas.  Children are likely to enjoy this new holiday title if they're into animals or are a fan of the new "Charlie" series by the "Pioneer Woman", Ree Drummond!

Litwin, Eric.
Pete the Cat Saves Christmas.
September 2012.
Harper Collins Publishers.
Review copy provided courtesy of publisher.

Although slightly different than the "Pete the Cat" fashion most children will be used to, children are sure to love this lastest Pete the Cat title by Eric Litwin!  When Santa becomes ill, Pete steps in to fill his shoes, determined to "give it his all," so as not to ruin the Christmas holiday.  Children are likely to pick up on the rhyming phrases and may even catch on to the tidbits of "T'was the Night Before Christmas" that are subtly infused into the story... overall, I'd say this one will be a big hit!
