1st line/s: The Little Burrow was nearly ready for Christmas. Hare sang as he decorated the tree, Squirrel sprinkled sugar on the hazelnut cookies, and Mouse scurried out the door."
My comments: This was a quiet, sweet story of three friends who share a home. It's about sharing, and doing for others, and a little bit about procrastination, to tell the truth! I'm not super big on anthropomorphism, so my rating may be a little slanted. It really is a sweet story, and the illustrations are very nice. There's lots and lots of white space on the pages, which is also a bit of a turn-off for me, but I did enjoy it. Recommended.
