This book is bound to become an instant Christmas classic.Ĭheck out Toot & Puddle: Let It Snow, the latest in the series by Holly Hobbie. Several fold-out pages add more excitement, such as the panoramic flurry of present-unwrapping on Christmas morning. Ian Falconer's charcoal illustrations are brightened by plenty of green and red splashes, and this inventive illustrator adds fun touches of photographs and computer-aided inserts (a ballet star joining Olivia onstage, a scene of snow-covered trees outside Olivia's window). Yes, Olivia's antics continue to be hilarious. She even finds the perfect centerpiece (by chopping off the top of the Christmas tree). Olivia stuffs her baby brother full of blueberry pie, gets tangled in the lights and sets the table for dinner. Her latest misadventures are recorded in Olivia Helps with Christmas, and I guarantee it will bring smiles during this hustle-and-bustle season. Ian Falconer's irrepressible piglet is getting ready for the holidays, and her fans know that means trouble.
