This book and Back to School for Babar are the first titles in Abrams' new Babar licensed books program. It's Christmas in Celesteville and the new neighbors have decorated their house with lights, sculptures, balloons, a fountain - new trimmings appear every day. Babar's children love the Christmas house and wonder about the mysterious occupants. King Rataxes and his rhinos think its an eyesore and demand that Babar do something about it. Can Babar restore peace to the season?

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-In this spin-off, "Conceived and developed by Harry N. Abrams, Incorporated, New York, Images adapted by Judith Gray, after characters created by Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff," one of the houses in Celesteville is going overboard with decorations. The new owners have put up fountains, blinking lights, an enormous sleigh with reindeer, zillions of colored feathers, a climbing tower-the works. King Babar receives a complaint from the neighboring rhino king and CUR (Committee for Ugliness Removal). The issue is resolved rather anticlimactically when the residents claim their house is "art." Readers looking for authentic Babar and/or memorable holiday books will want to pass on this one.-S. P.
