Ten Little Christmas Presents by Jean Marzallo
Cartwheel Books

 A charming counting book by the co-creator of the I Spy series. It's Christmas Day. One by one, each of the animals in the forest finds a present. Porcupine gets mittens. Rabbit gets a new vest. Blue Jay gets a bonnet. But who is their Secret Santa?

Gingerbread Friends
by Jan Brett
G. P. Putnam's Sons

That popular little character is back looking for friends, in an adventure he will never forget.

Confident, the Gingerbread Baby happens upon a bakery, where he dances and prances in front of a sugar cookie girl, trying to make friends. But she just stares and doesn’t say a word, like all the other sweet treats he tries to meet.

Discouraged, the Gingerbread Baby runs home, chased by a long line of hungry creatures, where Mattie has a fantastic surprise for him gingerbread friends that fill a giant fold-out page.

Irresistible images inside the confectionery and outside in the snowy Swiss countryside will delight Jan Brett fans.
