The industrious bunny siblings from Bunnies All Day Long and Bunnies and Their Grandma are busy getting ready for the best party of the yearand their mother wants them to go to Uncle Jack's house to remind him to come. He isn't home, so Paulette, Larry and Harry head for the town, where they see Santa Claus and invite him to the party. But Uncle Jack is the one who shows up, and when he changes into a Santa Claus outfit, the bunnies demand the truthis he Uncle Jack or is he Santa Claus? Since it's Christmas Eve, anything is possible, and the family enjoys festivities galore before the night is out. Henry's exuberant watercolors convey the bunnies' earnestness; Erlich's text combines wit and the right amount of understatement in this charming book. (3-7)
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2 Using the characters from Bunnies All Day Long and Bunnies and Their Grandma (both Dial, 1985) , Ehrlich and Henry present small intimate pictures of the family at Christmas. The three children are as feisty as ever, with Paulette blackening a couple of eyes after her brothers grab her knit cap. The slight story line has the trio looking for their uncle to remind him to come to the family Christmas party. He is not at home, so they invite a street Santa to visit. At the party Uncle Jack arrives but soon slips away to don his Santa suit. The children aren't upset by this revelation, reassured by Uncle Jack's assertion that, ``Tonight on Christmas Eve, I am Santa.'' The book is short on plot, but it is enriched with incidental humor as when the bunnies bring out all their shoes to get more presents than just their stockings can hold. Henry's soft watercolor pictures carry the story along with charm more arresting than the slight plotline. Judith Gloyer, Milwaukee Public Library
