"A sweet, charming story of overcoming familiar difficulties during the hectic holiday season, with the help of those who love you." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) When Noah goes Christmas shopping with his mom and baby sister, he's glad to have his toy elephant, Oliver, along in the boring shops. They play peekaboo and hide in a dolls' house, and Noah even dances Oliver across the displays.
