(2) PS Pip and Posy bring home a Christmas tree and decorate it with sweets. When the decorations begin to disappear (from the humorous and brightly colored gouache illustrations, it's clear Pip has eaten them all), the friends replace them with paper decorations. Pip's inability to resist temptation is relatable, and Posy is an admirably nonjudgmental friend. A sweet and funny addition to Scheffler's winning preschool series.
