PreS-Gr 2–This brightly illustrated picture book begins with jubilant Pokémon characters, from Pikachu to Rowlet, gathered around a Christmas tree as they joyfully welcome winter and the holiday season. Each subsequent spread features a new winter scene, imploring readers to search-and-find various objects, such as white and gold snowflakes, festive cookies, and hidden ornaments. Kids are also encouraged to answer questions such as, “What do you like to do in the snow?” and “How would you decorate your own tree?” A bonus craft at the end includes various punch-out ornaments and gift tags to create a decorative Pokémon setting at home for the holidays or to add flair to a gift for a special someone.
VERDICT Pokémon enthusiasts can deck the halls with their favorite characters in this interactive work, great to share with a buddy or enjoy independently.
