We made a trip to the library last night to switch out books. Angel Pig and the Hidden Christmas is one we came away with. This book is the story of a couple of pigs who make a list of items to buy in order to make Christmas happy, but then are confronted with Angel Pig, who tells them they can have fun without having to buy a bunch of things. Unfortunately, Angel Pig basically told them they could be happy just making things from stuff they had lying around the house. While I suppose this is better then they buying frenzy they were planning, it didn't really give me any warm fuzzys about what Christmas should really be about. Not a bad story, but I would recommend anyone go out of their way to find this one.As a side note, this version was published in 1997. The front of the book has one of the old little pockets for a checkout card. Of course, at the public library, we don't even need to interact with a librarian if we don't want to. We use a self-checkout kiosk to check books out. While I believe this is the better way to go, I am kind of sad my children will never experience the checkout at the library counter with the little stamp card.
