PreS-Gr 1—As Santa (a bearded polar bear) prepares for his big night, Mrs. Claus (also white and furry) heads to the kitchen to make some treats, with the help (mostly) of an assortment of mice, raccoons, foxes, and squirrels. As she works her culinary magic, readers are asked to help her find various things by opening flaps. The finale includes the animal assistants cleaning the kitchen and baking an apple pie while Mrs. Claus takes a well-deserved nap, then going off to rest as well. The full-color illustrations are charming, and children will enjoy the interactivity. Pages are sturdy and should hold up to repeated use. Best suited for one-on-one use.—Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library
