The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! I love the festive colors and the cute designs for the animals characters. I just love the beautiful writing style, partly in rhyme and partly in prose. It really captures the magic of Christmas! This is such a sweet book! It's funny because every time that someone in the Bear family starts to say, "...the thing that I love more than Christmas is..." then they get interrupted before they can say "YOU!" At the very end at bedtime on Christmas Eve, they finally finish the phrase. It's really hilarious how they keep getting interrupted. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN CHRISTMAS is a sweet story about all the joy of the holiday and importance of time with family. Little Bear is so excited for Christmas and all the fun things it brings. As the bears celebrate the holiday, Little Bear appreciates all the fantastic parts, but their favorite part of the holiday is family and the love that they share.
