Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1–A zebra named Ollie runs down some of his favorite holiday activities. Sweet, soft watercolors show Ollie and his dog decorating the Christmas tree, baking holiday treats with Nanna, and waiting for Santa, creating a cozy, merry accompaniment to the simple rhyming text. This is a great choice for a lap-sit and also as a read-alone for beginning readers.–Maureen Wade, Los Angeles Public Library END

5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect to introduce Christmas as it is experienced by toddlers,
This review is from: I Love Christmas (Hardcover)
The sweet minimalist pictures and simple words still capture what is most special of the season. There are a few images that could lead to the more religious elaboration by a parent but are easily glossed over for those who prefer not to stress that aspect.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Cute - 4.5/5 Stars,
This review is from: I Love Christmas (Hardcover)
I am such a sucker for cute kid's books and when they pertain to a special holiday, all the better for me. Naturally I couldn't resist this one: I Love Christmas, by Anna Walker, because I became acquainted with the lovable character Ollie, the zebra and his dog Fred, when I read, I Love My Dad, earlier this year.
In this Christmas story, Ollie, the cutest zebra ever, is sharing his thoughts on Christmas -- which of course is a holiday that he loves! From the twinkly lights, crinkly paper, tinsel, angels and reindeer, to helping Nana bake the Christmas cake, Ollie the zebra is all excited about Christmas. He even dresses up his dog Fred as a reindeer in the bathtub. By far though, Ollies favorite thing to do is to listen for Santa with his pal Fred close by his side. The story is told in simple rhyme, and it is a perfect size for little ones to tote around. The author, Anna Walker has illustrated this book, and it features perfect simple scenes that would be easy to explain for even the youngest of toddlers. Older preschool children will also love this one. RECOMMENDED - 4.5/5 stars
