Children's Literature
You might need a little skill to make effective use of this hand-puppet and board book. The puppets are really part of a glove, so there is one for each finger. The book is attached to the palm. The text is truly innocuous—three spreads contain "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and the closing one "and a Happy New Year." That is it, so parents and caregivers may need to be a bit more creative in telling stories using these puppets—an elf, reindeer, Christmas tree, Santa and a snowman. Really, this combination is more toy than book.
