WE LOVE CHRISTMAS!

It seems no one is immune to the magic of the season—not even cats. Two adorable, roly-poly felines extol the time-honored joys of Christmas—choosing a tree, wrapping packages, baking cookies—in brief, rhyming verse ("We like lights. We like balls./ We like holly in the halls"). The orange and gray tabbies sport brightly patterned clothing and cavort in a thoroughly human, zestily watercolored world. In its undersize format, this pleasing paperback offers youngest readers easy entrée into the secular traditions of the holiday. Ages 2-5. (Sept.)
