Mistletoe by Tad Hills

 

Mistletoe loves everything about Christmas --the twinkling lights, the cookies for Santa, and, most of all, the gently falling snow. Her best friend, Norwell, is an elephant who likes sitting by the fire and watching the snow from the comfort of his cozy house. On one particularly snowy walk, Mistletoe stops to appreciate the beauty and peace of a snow-covered world. She knows Norwell would love it too...if he weren't so afraid of the cold. Mistletoe: A Christmas Story by Tad Hill was published in September 2020. 

The illustrations in this book are so magical and colorful. It's really cute when the two main characters are an elephant and a mouse. Especially since most elephants are scared of mice. Cassie really enjoyed this story and trying to guess what Mistletoe was creating for the elephant that would keep him warm. We also used this story to talk about how it wasn't money spent on presents that make it special but those who are helping another. Cassie really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend you to check it out.
