DescriptionBound with plastic binding comb.Label TextMcAfee drew the illustrations for this children’s book. She used a cartoon-like style to portray animals of the forest. She probably originated the idea for the book. Mason wrote the text, a rhyming poem about animals enjoying holidays each month of the year. The poem for the month of December supplied the idea for the cover image. It began “I wonder if the furry folk out in the forest living/Are celebrating Christmas time with happiness and giving.”
