Description

This irresistible board book--with a pop-up, pull-tabs, flaps to lift, and wheels to turn--captures both the excitement of Christmas and the joys of being with family for the holiday. There's a festive flurry as a bear family makes presents, bakes cookies, decorates their tree, and visits Santa, but most important of all: "What I love about Christmas / is time with YOU " Every spread has at least one interactive element, and a beautiful final pop-up shows the bear family snuggled together.
