What I Love About Christmas

Maryann Cocca-Leffler. Sterling, $12.95 (22p) ISBN 978-1-4549-1820-2

Punchy rhymes highlight favorite holiday moments in this upbeat board book outfitted with flaps, tabs, and other interactive elements. “Windowpanes, glowing bright./ Wishing on a starry night,” begins Cocca-Leffler (A Homemade Together Christmas) as a bundled-up family of bears drags home a Christmas tree and builds a snowman. Pulling a tab lets readers send a shooting star across the night sky in one spread, while circular flaps help the snowman take shape; other nifty touches include a wheel that lets readers help decorate gingerbread cookies and a tree. Cocca-Leffler’s cozy domestic scenes should leave readers eager to dive into their own holiday traditions. Ages 4–up. (Oct.)
