Big Kid Reaction
This was our instant holiday favorite. The story is sweet without being sappy or over the top. Like the original Little Whistle, it's about friendship, love and sharing.

Pros:
The simplicity and beauty of the tale are unmatched.
Cons:
It may have been too wordy for this year (2003).
