Jane Monroe Donovan, Sleeping Bear, $15.95 (32p) ISBN 978-1-58536-447-3
Donovan's near-wordless story is an animal lover's Christmas wish come true. On Christmas morning, three increasingly large packages from Santa await the pigtailed heroine. Inside them: a cat, a dog, and—hey, we're talking wish fulfillment—a beautiful tan pony. It only gets better as they pile onto her sled, have a snowball fight, and curl up in her bed. Donovan's naturalistic paintings bring out the innate humor of this too-good-to-be-true situation, but also the girl's underlying love of animals. All ages. (Sept.)
