PreS-K—Ricky's parents have been too busy to get a Christmas tree, so the rabbit with lopsided ears convinces his dad to tear himself away from his bills to buy one—and though at first his dad is crabby, the two end up having fun in the snow. Thanks to the big tree and Ricky's dad's improved mood, the holiday is merry after all. The illustrations, with their simple shapes, thick dark outlines, and warm colors, have plenty of appeal for toddlers and preschoolers. Though the text isn't particularly noteworthy, this is a pleasant little tale about a boy and his dad.—Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library
