Christmas picture books: Dec. 17 – 23, 2011

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  You’re still not in the spirit???  You need to come read some of the children’s picture books at Otto’s.

Exquisite illustrations accompany the words of the song in The Twelve Days of Christmas illustrated by Laurel Long—see if you can find all the gifts hidden in the pictures.

Immerse yourself in the preparations for the many days of feasting in Tomie dePaola’s Strega Nona’s Gift—see how Big Anthony learns to share.

Learn the secret of calming the hyper anticipation of a young one in Llama Llama Holiday Drama.  

In Jan Brett’s Home for Christmas,  Rollo, a rebellious little troll, doesn’t like to do chores so he runs away, living with one family of critters after another until the moose he was riding loses his antlers with Rollo atop them.  He slides down the mountain on the antlers and enjoys all the warmth and comforts of Christmas at home.

You’ll find all these and more at Otto’s, a Christmas-lover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.
