Review Quotes: Holiday cheer meets toddler-friendly design in this cozy peek-and-find board book. Busy elves bake cookies, build toys, and prepare Santa's sleigh as readers search for a gingerbread friend hiding in each scene. The repeated question format encourages participation and supports memory development for the youngest readers. Fehrl's candy-colored illustrations use clean lines and soft textures, with pops of red, green, and gold that create a world that's bustling but never overwhelming. Characters include elves with varied skin tones and hairstyles, offering a broad representation of holiday joy. Layered die-cut pages add visual depth and tactile interest, inviting repeat exploration as children search for cookies, marshmallows, and other playful surprises. VERDICT A charming and developmentally attuned Christmas title that blends sensory delight with early literacy skills. A welcome addition to holiday board book collections.-- "School Library Journal"
