Every Christmas ends in a singing contest. Each animal family selects a song and every member must participate. The bears were going to sing Deck the Halls. The problem is baby bear can't sing. The squirrels were writing an original piece. Off to the cougars, then to the birds who always win. They practice all year long. Who will win this year? You will get to read/listen and see. Lucky you!!
likely a new favorite childrens holiday read!

The animals portray many human traits in their quest to win the contest. Yet, the most important parts are the subtle lessons to be learned.
Oliver, the wise old owl, narrates the tale. He travels between all the animal homes letting us know how the preparations for the concert are coming along.
You have the bears who will not choose a song that all members of their family can't sing. They realize they might be forgoing their shot at the trophy but feel it's more important they participate as a family.
Next are the squirrels, who aren't known for their musical abilities but are certainly enthusiastic participants.
Then there are the cougars. They are known as loners but still preparing their entry for the Christmas celebration.
Lastly, the birds are working hard to keep their title from previous years. Most of the animals in the North Woods don't begrudge their long winning streak, as they practice all year long.
Overall, my reaction to Christmas in the North Woods was pure delight. The illustrations beautifully enhance the story. Readers, old and young alike, will want to hear this story over and over. The lyrical cadence makes this an easy book to enjoy.
I believe this book belongs in every family's holiday library. Cricket Rohman is a talented author. I have read several of her adult stories and love each of them.
