PreS—The little mouse and her animal friends decorate a Christmas tree together in this colorful book that has a scalloped edge suggestive of an evergreen's shape. The boldly outlined characters perform one simple task on each page. This is a happy, nonreligious story composed of simple sentences that flow nicely and lead logically to the festive gathering of singing friends around the tree. And, oh!—the angel on top looks very much like Maisy.—Linda Israelson, Los Angeles Public Library
