If this book can let you get away with reading a Christmas story after Christmas is over, then go for it! Grumpy bunny can't stand Christmas or holiday cheer. But he CAN stand the beautiful Lilac who asks him to stand in with her as Mr. Claus at the mall! He learns that something sacrificing for someone you appreciate can make all the difference.

It has a great message about thinking of others before self. Wonderful for older elementary students, most likely for 2nd-4th grade age range.
