Review: A Christmas Countdown, Friend Indeed, A Nickel Buys a Rhyme

I've decided to put these three picture books into one review, due to it's nature of being shot (too short) but plain cute to not be reviewed. All three are beautifully illustrated and truly enjoyable for kids. Recommend reading these to young beginner readers.

Mama's in the kitchen bakin' pies. Daddy's on the back porch swattin' flies. Sister's with her boyfriend sighin' sighs. Brother's in the corner tellin' lies.
