This review is from: Barney's Christmas Surprise (Paperback)

In this holiday tale, the purple dinosaur and his sibling friends BJ and Baby Bop are celebrating the Christmas season. As the three friends make cookies in the kitchen, Baby Bop excitedly asks if they can make their presents now.

Barney makes a wooden truck for BJ, Baby Bop draws a snowman for Barney, and BJ decorates a sock puppet for his sister. As they put their prettily wrapped packages under the tree--wondering with anticipation what could be inside--they gaze out the window at a winter wonderland. Snow has covered the pine trees, and squirrels, rabbits, and birds scurry about.

BJ notices that the snow has covered all their food--including a frozen bird bath--and the three dinosaurs get a super-dee-duper idea! They make garlands of apples, strings of cranberry and popcorn, and other holiday treats for their furry friends.

Showing that giving can be just as exciting as receiving, the friends enjoy their presents to one another--but also the warm feeling that their gifts to the animals provide.

A heartwarming holiday tale with beautiful color illustrations, Barney's Christmas Surprise is a great Christmas story to be enjoyed at bedtime--or anytime!
