This review is from: Merry Christmas Davy (Hardcover)
As a storyteller, every Christmas was a struggle, which books will I read this year? They were all nice stories, but none was better. Until I read this one. It was an instant hit. ALL the children loved it. Davy is an admirable character, he is like a regular 4 years old, innocent and willing to do some good... not thinking he can do some arm to his own family. A touching story that brings parents and children together.

In this story, Father Rabbit reminds the kids of Santa Claus and the way that he likes children to behave. They remember their lessons well --- Santa Claus rewards being good, helping one another, sharing things and kindness. When Davy notices animals in need of food due to a harsh winter, he decides to share his family's food, not realizing that this will deprive his family. At first, the Rabbits are mad, but when they think about what Davy has done, they band together in a wonderful show of generosity.
The illustrations are soft, charming, and touching. The text is good for...Read more
