Book Guide

For Karin, Uncle Jerry's visit was what made Christmas really special. But it was already the day before Christmas, and he still hadn't arrived.

As she walked to the store Karin remembered the things they always did together-like having snowball fights, making candy from snow dipped in hot maple syrup, and eating Italian sandwiches at Mr. Marzollo's shop. And when she got home, overjoyed to see Uncle Jerry's truck in the driveway, Karin paused a moment to savor the excitement to come. 

Susan Pearson's story and Trinka Hakes Noble's pictures delicately reveal for young readers the special warmth that surrounds a small-town family Christmas.
