If Animals Celebrated Christmas & Other Holiday Stories Collection

Yoto Says: What if animals had their own holiday traditions? These sweet, funny stories are perfect for cozy moments together and imagining the season in a whole new way.

Narrated by Bradley Whitford, brother of the author and best known for his roles in The West Wing, The Handmaid's Tale, and Get Out, Ann Whitford Paul’s If Animals series, illustrated by David Walker, brings animals to life in heartwarming stories that imagine them doing the things we do.

In If Animals Celebrated Christmas, Tortoise would hiss a holiday wish, Crane would croon carols, and Mama and Papa Buffalo would kiss beneath the mistletoe, with every creature decking the halls in their own way. In If Animals Gave Thanks, Raccoon chir-chirrs her gratitude, Crow loops and swoops in the sky, and Bear hosts a grand feast, capturing the spirit of Thanksgiving. In If Animals Celebrated Easter, the animals would join in to welcome spring, celebrating with joyous gatherings across the animal kingdom. For Halloween, If Animals Trick-or-Treated imagines Owlet and friends knocking at nests and under rocks for treats, with Parrot handing out sweet seeds to everyone.
