You are invited to celebrate the holiday season with this large board book that brings together a number of famous Disney characters who have been featured in numerous films.

First you’ll find Mater helping Santa Car deliver presents on Christmas Eve and then, on the next page, Lady and Tramp gather all their puppies together by the tree to open gifts on Christmas morning.

Next up, Nemo shares the holiday with underwater friends, while Scrooge McDuck invites family and friends over to his mansion for a festive party. Ariel and Eric are pictured sharing a quiet moment in front of their Christmas tree and WALL-E and Eve celebrate with their “bot” buddies.

Each two page spread in this book also features a special picture that, when you wiggle it up and down, moves and changes. For example, you’ll find Belle and the Beast skating across a pond and Tiny Time Mouse opening up a bag full of presents, including a jack-in-the box that springs up.

Action pictures, lots of favorite Disney characters, and holiday settings make this a board book that preschoolers will have fun paging through on the days leading up to Christmas.
