Mice Clayton and Desmond both seek the biggest Christmas tree but don't succeed until they team up. Tidy framed paintings help to underscore the cheery, Christmassy messages regarding unity and cooperation. New to this edition (published in a series promoting early literacy) are intrusive discussion prompts and appended "creative activities" to help parents "engage with your little one."
