"A charming story of surprise and friendship on Christmas Eve set in the desert of the Southwest. Old, grumpy Armadillo wonders why his friends seem to have forgotten him on this special night, with no mail and no visitors in sight. Then, pretending not to care, he goes to bed. Meanwhile his friends gather outside with Roadrunner setting up the luminarias, Peccary hanging a piney wreath, Coyote delivering a crate of fruit, and Snake providing his tail to string acorns and walnuts. . . . A winning combination of text and pictures that celebrates an old theme in a new way. " --starred review, School Library Journal |
