An Artist's Night Before Christmas
For those in need of a Christmas-themed, art-related story. Otherwise, librarians can skip this title.
The Princess and the Christmas Rescue
Fans of Frozen might be lured in, but they will not be satisfied.
North Pole Ninjas
The garish cartoon illustrations and the ninja focus lead the unsuspecting to anticipate some sort of Christmas adventure…but no, it's just a heavy-handed message with messy meter and awkward rhymes.
An Orangutan's Night Before Christmas
This is more suited to a zoo gift shop purchase than to libraries. Luckily there are abundant versions of the holiday favorite available.
The Birth of Jesus
Robert Sabuda's The Christmas Story, which covers the same ground, is much lovelier and has more elaborate paper engineering, but this sturdy, workmanlike pop-up has more child appeal.
The Berenstain Bears and the Christmas Angel
Deliberately imitating the art of the original books, this weak entry fails to capture the trademark humor and sass of the series.
Mary Has a Baby
While the rhymes are a slight distraction, this is a pleasant additional purchase for those who want a version light on religious mysticism but with a happy message of "love, and peace, and light."
