REVIEW
Ugly Christmas sweaters seem to have become a holiday tradition for all ages. Ugly is, of course, relative depending on people's opinions. This charming chapter book introduces the concept of the 'ugly' holiday sweater to young readers through touch and feel. Each of the five two-page spreads highlights a creature and it's sweater. There's a reindeer drinking coco wearing tinsel and ornaments on his sweater. The poor Yeti's sweater just doesn't fit right but his belly is soft and warm. The polar bear goes overboard with a fireplace and stocking sweater. And the Llama likes wearing lights on his sweater. And Penguin and Snowman love to share their sweater tastes while they dance. A cute story celebrating a new Christmas tradition.

REVIEW
Die cuts highlight this joyful introduction to the delights of snowflakes. Short rhyming couplets take readers on a journey with snowflakes that fall, float, land, dance, and flutter. The number of snowflakes decreases until they have all fallen, but what is that? Could more snow be on the way? This darling board book celebrates the joys of snow and the magic in no two snowflakes being alike. Adorable illustrations and the various shaped die cuts make the book a fun one to read one on one. The diverse cast of characters adds to the charm.
