A Very Mercy Christmas
by Kate DiCamillo

Flap Copy Description:
When Stella Endicott gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting anyone to join her. Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity, The Watsons are very involved in a precarious baking endeavor, Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany the singing on her accordion. And Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement.
Will Stella need to sing by herself, accompanied only by the cacophonous contributions of the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up along the way? Or might there be a gentle miracle in store?

My Thoughts:
This beautiful picture book will be a big hit this Christmas season for all those Mercy Watson fans out there! Kate DiCamillo's magic pen has created a heartwarming tale just in time for the holidays. (There's even a Christmas tree ornament included inside the book!) I highly recommend A Very Mercy Christmas to children aged three to seven.
