(4) K-3 A young duck named Clara wants to know what Christmas is. She braves a parked tractor, timid deer, and hungry fox on her quest, only to end up where she started and to find that her barnyard friends have planned a surprise Christmas party. Auch's story is poorly developed, but the text has some funny, dramatic moments and the artwork is simple and colorful.
