Illustrated by
Renee Graef.
Word for word, an entire chapter from Little House on the Prairie forms the text for this holiday picture book. When the creek rises, Laura and Mary realize that Santa will not be able to make it to their homestead, but their disappointment turns into joy when Mr. Edwards unexpectedly brings their gifts to them. Graef's attractive artwork complements the touching story, which stands well alone.
