Today Vivian (age 8) will share two of her absolute favorite holiday books:

Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree by Robert Barry and 1001 Things to Spot at Christmas by Alex Frith and Teri Gower

She loves Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree because “its so funny that they all chose to cut the top of the tree off, making a new tree for another animal or family. The illustrations are all in one color too, which is really unusual.”

Vivian has always loved books where there are hidden pictures to find, like Where’s Waldo and the 1001 things to find series. Its fun to get the Christmas version out each year, it feels like a new book each time! She said “Its fun, kind of hard and challenging, and I love to search the page for each special thing. If you like finding and searching books, you will love this one!”
