When Noah goes Christmas shopping with his mom and baby sister, he’s glad to have his toy elephant, Oliver, along in the boring shops. They play peekaboo and hide in a dolls’ house, and Noah even dances Oliver across the displays. But just as Mom has checked off the last thing on her list, disaster strikes: Oliver is nowhere to be found! And the department store is VERY big. Will retracing their steps be enough to reunite Noah and his beloved toy elephant?

MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

The world just got a bit cuter thanks to Lou Peacock! What a beautiful, large picture book, hardcover, with simply beautiful hand drawn artwork.  A holiday story about a little boy’s love for his favorite toy during an outing with mom and baby sister. The story tells of an adventure told in verse, seen through the eyes of a child, in a tone set for a young reader.  Just a warm and fuzzy holiday read.

The artwork is bright and colorful, lots to see and discuss, and plenty of fun for young readers.  I just love this book!
