Review

A Christmas book that is intended to amuse youngsters is very family friendly. Children and adults may pour over the many full page spreads searching for specific items as they help Bear prepare for a holiday party. Some of the hidden objects are easy to find and others are very challenging. This is a good book to give to families who are new to American cultural holiday celebrations.

The bright colors are not only attractive but they help make the search difficult. The eye bounces all over the page in this hide and seek game. Some pages, particularly the boots and mittens are slightly overstimulating. This is a gift book and may be considered in libraries where Where Waldo is popular.

Overall Book Score: good
