Description
While getting ready for Christmas, Harriet and her friend George try to avoid Ms. Hoozit and her fruitcake, only to miss out on a yummy treat.
Quick Summary
Harriet and George star in a hilariously relatable holiday adventure where two kids think they've outsmarted a fruitcake-loving neighbor, only to discover that sometimes avoiding something tasty means missing out on the best part of Christmas. Young readers will giggle at the silly mishaps and feel the warm fuzzies of a story about friendship, neighborhood spirit, and learning that being open to new experiences pays off in delicious ways. If your kid likes other Nancy Carlson favorites like " Harriet and the Garden" or gentle holiday reads like "The Small Bigfoot series," this cheerful tale fits right into their reading pile. With its short 400-word length and AR Level 2.3, this is a perfect pick for kindergarten through second graders (ages 5-7) who are building reading confidence during the most wonderful time of the year.
