It was good, the ending was absolutely perfect for both dogs that go into the rescue center, the christmas play aspect was interesting but i wish we got more.

One of my favorites of the Puppy Patrol series.

The town is attempting to put on a Christmas play (Beauty and the Beast), but things run aground when a suitable place cannot be found for the night of the play performance. I rather fell in love with little Belle myself.

Extremely cute book for kids.
