Children's Literature
This is Froggy's first Christmas as well as his best Christmas, since he usually hibernates through the season. This year his friend Max wakes him up so he will have a chance to enjoy the holiday. Froggy and his friends find a Christmas tree (it helps that Max is a beaver who can cut the tree down). They decorate it and prepare presents. They learn that Christmas is best when shared with friends and family. The colorful pencil and watercolor illustrations are full of expression. Froggy appears in many other books, so his fans will welcome this entry in the series, while readers meeting the character for the first time may be enticed into exploring the rest of the books. 2000, Viking/Penguin, $15.99. Ages 3 to 6. Reviewer: Dr. Judy Rowen
