Nothing seems to be going in that direction at all.
Still, Arthur ends up with a wonderful Christmas after all. Nevertheless, it's fairly disjointed as Brown skips from one character to another without any kind of transition. I love Olivier Dunrea's illustrations and this book is no disappointment. It is a soft, quiet book about animals gathering in the north woods to celebrate the Christmas season in peace together. Everyone who lives at Mud Flat is running around like crazy trying to get ready for the holiday.
