Fierce, creepy and prickly are words used to describe some creatures that we might consider to be beasts. But author Kate Gardner lets us in on a little secret — there’s way more than meets the eye. Even the most ugly, sharp-toothed, slimy beasts have their gentle, loving and playful sides, when you get to know them. A surprising and insightful read for animal aficionados and inquiring minds alike.

And lastly, a mischievous cat wreaks so much havoc on his family’s Christmas Eve preparations leaving them appalled, aghast and practically Christmas-less.

“A forest of Christmas trees stretching over the hills. That’s where our story begins.” A little forlorn fir tree, robbed of the chance to grow and thrive as a seedling, is transported with fellow trees to the city to be put for sale. Not surprisingly, no one gives this little fir tree a second glance. On the brink of being discarded, the fir tree ends up being adopted by a boy and both their warmth and presence bring the community together in a memorable way. A few days later, dried and brittle, while the little tree sits and waits to be tossed out with the other Christmas trees, a street sweeper comes along. His clever deed gives the little fir tree a new life. Don’t miss this heartwarming and affecting Christmas tale.
The Christmas Eve Tree was written by Delia Huddy, illustrated by Emily Sutton and published by Candlewick Press.
