(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kathryn Durst. The Christmas family loves Christmas: their bright lights short out the neighborhood's electricity, their tree dwarfs all others, and they buy tons of gifts. The excess doesn't jibe with daughter Mary; after a heart-to-heart with a mall Santa, she convinces her family to share their abundant holiday trappings with the town. Bright mixed-media illustrations add festive warmth and humor, and they reinforce the message about true Christmas spirit.
