About this listen
"A tasty holiday confection." --Kirkus reviews
Sweet cinnamon, biscuits, it's Christmas! It's the busiest time of year, just like Busy Betty!
This year, Betty is going to get everyone in her whole family the perfect Christmas present. But when Betty looks in her piggy bank, she doesn’t even have two coins to clank together! Then Betty has the most amazing idea: she and Mae will transform their lemonade stand into . . . a Christmas cookie stand!
But getting people to come out in snowy, blowy weather is harder than they thought. Will Betty ever find the perfect Christmas presents for her family? Or will she realize she had the answer all along?
From Academy Award–winning actress, founder of Hello Sunshine, and bestselling author, Reese Witherspoon comes Busy Betty: an exuberant, smart, and larger-than-life character who encourages young readers to tackle each obstacle with enthusiasm, excitement, and big ideas. With fun and vibrant illustrations from Xindi Yan, Busy Betty & the Perfect Christmas Present is the perfectly perfect Christmas time read-aloud!
Praise for Busy Betty:
"A fun and high-spirited story for the fans of Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious, or Freckleface Strawberry."--School Library Journal
"An earnest and unabashed celebration of youthful entrepreneurial zeal that feels very of the moment." --Publishers Weekly
"Extreme angles effectively convey a sense of perpetual motion. . . . Witherspoon’s rollicking text never holds back . . . . as Betty says, “Being busy is a great way to be.” Young readers are sure to agree."--Kirkus reviews
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains a recipe for Reese's Christmas Cereal Surprise Cookie Bars.
Critic Reviews
"Witherspoon ably captures the emotional extremes that young children often grapple with. Yan’s illustrations effectively portray the steps of Betty’s journey, using a vivid palette of greens and pinks and a dynamic use of perspective to keep wiggly young readers entranced. An appended recipe for cookie bars encourages readers to follow Betty’s worthy example. A tasty holiday confection." --Kirkus reviews
