Genre: Christmas / Childrens / Veggie Tales
It's that wonderful time of year again---the Yuletide Ice
Cube Fair! It's a time of festivity and fun as veggies gather to munch on snow
cones, slurp down slushies, and ice skate on the frozen pond. But the greatest
part of all is the Ice Cube Carving Contest! The veggies have been busy!
They've carved Christmas feasts, trees, angels, and more. Each one is trying to
outdo the other in an effort to win the grand prize! But the smallest of all
these ice entries is a carving done by Junior Asparagus---a tiny stable with a
shepherd on one knee. Kids will discover that it's not what's grand, or bigger,
or best that's most important on Christmas---it's Jesus!
YULETIDE ICE CUBE FAIR is just as cute as can be. I love the
premise behind this book, and it is so perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
My five children are huge fans of Veggie Tales, so they all really loved that
book. And it is so perfect, with the seemingly most insignificant carving (the
smallest) is the one that shows the real meaning of Christmas.
