Carter’s Christmas
Illustrated by Katie Saunders
Millbrook Press, 2013. $23.93 PICTURE
BOOK Content: G.
In this fun Christmas book, Carter is
celebrating the holidays with his grandmother. He is trying to make her an ornament for a surprise, but his
grandma keeps interrupting him so they can go Christmas shopping at the mall,
sit on Santa’s lap, and decorate the Christmas tree. When Christmas Eve arrives, he still hasn’t finished her
present, and together they make cookies, go to church to hear about Jesus and
drive around to see Christmas lights.
Eventually he does finish her present and his grandmother is very
pleased.
On each page layout,
there is a little box with a 2-3 sentence description of the stories behind the
traditions of Christmas. These
facts make the story more interesting and give the history of the holiday. The illustrations are very cute, in
much the style of Charlie and Lola. If you are looking for a Christmas book,
this is a good addition.
