    A merry and bright option for baby’s first Christmas introduces colors with seasonal favorites such as elves and the Christmas tree. Practice basic non-sequential counting and color recognition with festive flair! Simple, clear text is perfect for little eyes, and sturdy construction will stand up to even the most enthusiastic little hands. The fun die-cut shape and bright illustrations make this the perfect baby-shower and first-Christmas gift. Little fingers will have endless fun in this Christmas wonderland.
    Barbara Barbieri McGrath has written over twenty books for children, including The Little Gray Bunny, The Little Red Elf, and many bestselling math concept books. After graduating from Lasell College with a degree in Early Childhood Education, Barbara opened a preschool where she taught 4-5 year olds for sixteen years. Her love for writing, children and making learning fun was the inspiration for her first children's book, The M&M Brand Counting Book, which sold over 1 million copies. She lives in Natick, Massachusetts. View titles by Barbara Barbieri McGrath
    Peggy Tagel's most often-asked question is, "How do you cut all those tiny pieces of paper?" The answer is, quite simply, her Magic Scissors. Working in a studio decorated with a huge collection of cookie jars, Peggy's colorful cutpaper illustrations have been reproduced for a variety of products, including cards, gift wrap, packaging, and stationery, as well as for children's books and magazines. She illustrated all seven books in the First Celebrations series. She lives in North Port, Florida. View titles by Peggy Tagel
    It's Christmas and Santa is ready. It's time for the reindeer to fly. One nose is red.
