Synopses & Reviews
Tis the week before Christmas in Mud Flat . . . and all the animals are preoccupied with gift lists and shopping and deciding who will play Santa at the village Christmas party (perhaps a certain tiny female mollusk*?). All except Freddie, who s busy in his repair shop working on a plan of his own that will remind everyone what the spirit of giving Mud Flat style is all about. Short, gemlike chapters accompanied by enchanting watercolor illustrations make this another welcome visit to James Stevenson s one-of-a-kind animal habitat that his young fans will joyously recognize as Mud Flat! *snail Also see page 00.
Synopsis
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Mud Flat--everyone is bustling about making plans, wrapping gifts, and deciding who will play Santa at the village holiday party. All except Freddie, who's stuck inside his fix-itshop under a pile of ambitious promises. Strange and wonderful things happen this time of year, though, including raisin cookies in the snow, runaway rolls of red ribbon, and the spirit of giving--Mud Flat style. Merry Christmas, Mud Flat!
Synopsis
