The Christmas Sweater

A new Christmas classic from Jan Brett with an adventurous boy and an adorable pug in a Christmas sweater who saves the day!When Yaya reveals the highly adorned Christmas sweater she has knit for pet pug, Ari, her grandson thinks it’s just perfect. It’s covered in bells, candy canes, ornaments and more—how fun! Ari, however, disagrees. Convinced a hike in the December air will change her mind, they set off, the boy in his new snowshoes and the dog in her new sweater. It isn’t long before snow begins to fall, cloaking the world around them in white. Suddenly, the boy realizes that Ari’s sweater has disappeared along the way, and what’s more, the snow has covered their footsteps and every landmark. How will they find their way back?Ari barks at something sticking out of the snow. With a tug, red yarn is revealed, leading the way home. And they’re in for a bigger surprise when they see that forest friends have been collecting all of the baubles from the sweater and show them off in a grand way.
