Bob's White Christmas (Bob the Builder)

Can they do it? Yes, they can!

It's Christmas Eve and Bob and his crew are ready to celebrate. But when a big snowstorm hits, Bob and the vehicles have to dig out Farmer Pickles and deliver gifts to Mrs. Percival's class -- all before the end of the night.

Amazon.com Review
Publishing a book that appeals to young fans of both Christmas and Nick Jr.'s Bob the Builder might seem like a terribly risky proposition. But if your child just happens to fall into that demographic, here's the book for you.

Based on an actual episode of the hugely popular show, Bob's White Christmas brings together a bunch of the regulars for some low-key holiday fun: Scoop gives Bob a hand clearing a path to Farmer Pickles's place ("Can we plow it?" "Yes, we can!"), all the machines pitch in to decorate a tree ("Can we trim it?" "Yes, we can!"), and Spud the scarecrow gets quite a scare from a supposed "snow monster" ("Whee! Whoo-hoo! Look out!").

Just as on the show (a hit in 100 countries and counting), Bob and his likeable pals work together, solve problems, and have all sorts of fun. And kids should especially like a chance to stare at all the TV stills. Now what's Bob up to in that fake white beard anyway? (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
