In Cranberry Christmas, young Maggie's friend Mr. Whiskers faces two problems: mean Cyrus Grape, who claims no one can skate on the pond because he owns it, and Mr. Whiskers' sister, who wants to make Mr. Whiskers leave his home in Cranberryport and move in with her in the city. With Maggie and her Grandmother's help, Mr. Whiskers thwarts them both.
I absolutely love the illustrations in this book. Here are my favorites:
 |
| Maggie and Mr. Whiskers skating |

| Mr. Whiskers declaring his outrage to Grandmother and Maggie |
 |
| My favorite illustration of all |
Do you and your children have favorite Christmas or winter books? Please share! I'm always on the lookout for new books to introduce the kids to.
