Mooseltoe by: Margie Palatini
Mr. Moose wants everything to be perfect for Christmas and his family is so excited. Moose follows his list so it is all ready before Santa arrives: writing christmas cards, sing, shop til you drop, bake and cook and decorate. He thinks all is just right until the Moose children discover that there is no tree. Mr. Moose tries his hardest to get one before Santa's scheduled visit but they are all sold out. Instead of disappointing his kids. He finds an alternative-himself and his Moosetasche. Fun rhyming text and illustrations makes this one of our favorite holiday books.
