Christmas on Exeter Street

This is an unusual book as well as Ivy's favorite this holiday season. It is Christmas Eve in the big house on Exeter Street. A mother and her two children are expecting a few guests, but the house ends up bursting full by the end of the night. Each guest sleeps and a more and more unusual place - shelves, a baby in the sink, bathtubs, etc. Even the guests are unusual - "two fat men and their wives", a homeless woman and her baby, and kids with parents vacationing in Timbuktu. The book just gets more and more unusual. However, the message is a holiday message - open your heart and your home; Saint Nick will find you wherever you roam!

Merry Christmas!
