Christmas in the Forest

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Dawson Hearn. When Cat is ignored during the excitement of Christmas Eve, she runs away to the forest. She's tempted to eat a baby mouse until a bear threatens to eat her. But as Cat tells the Christmas story, she and the bear agree to leave their prey in peace, and the mice invite Cat to sleep in their nest. Repetition makes the text accessible, but the animals' change of heart is distracting. Predominantly brown watercolor and ink artwork illustrates the story.
