(4) K-3 Illustrated by Suse MacDonald. Children prepare for a Christmas pageant that culminates with a child dressed as a star overlooking the manger scene. The rebus text is simple and repetitive. There are no words at all, rather, "I can see a sheep" is written with a picture of an eye, a can, the letter C, and a sheep. Suse MacDonald's illustrations are clear and cheerful. The book is pleasant, if unremarkable, holiday fare.
