Olivia's latest disaster-prone caper wholeheartedly indulges in every (secular) Christmas motif: snow, a tree, lights, stockings, presents, sledding--and even a dream-Nutcracker starring you-know-who. Olivia is her customary impetuous self, and Falconer strikes a spirited balance in letting the words and pictures tell the story in turn, with a particularly lively use of photocollage adding wit to the pages.
