"Yoon presents the wide-eyed subject's boisterous personality with confident sketches that capture the small dog's outsize holiday energy." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) High five! It's winter! For one spirited little puppy, winter means romping in the snow, birds to chase, fragrant evergreen trees, and joy, joy, joy! Then again, winter also means . . . oddly unfriendly deer? Millions of little lights? Contorting inflatable snowmen? Wait, what? If this is all winter too, then winter is kind of . . . weird! Helen Yoon's fresh and hilarious take on the winter season--part of a quirky new series of picture books--is a blend of bumbling affection and slack-jawed wonder.
