The Three Bears' Christmas by Kathy Duval illustrated by Paul Meisel*

The Three Bears work up an appetite as they decorate for Christmas.  To their disappointment, the gingerbread bears were to hot to eat.  To distract Baby Bear from his hunger, Papa suggests taking a walk.
Imagine their surprise when they return to find the front door open, cookies with nibble marks, trails of crumbs into the sitting room and up the stairs.
Clues along the way make this a perfect book for predicting!
Love it!
*Highly recommend.
