Reseña del editor:

The joyous spirit of Christmas, sharing and caring, are at the heart of the three stories and 60 illustrations in "The Harry and Lola Christmas Collection". Children love to help and want to be loved. Each story inspires these characteristics in the reader. "Harry and Lola Meet Santa Paws" begins the story of this new Christmas legend. Rescued Scotties Harry and Lola meet Santa Paws—once one of Santa’s helpers, who takes food and treats to needy dogs all over the world on Christmas Eve. Harry and Lola ride with Santa Paws on a Christmas Eve adventure. During the night they meet many dogs in need of help, but the thrill of the night comes when they assist Santa Paws and his team of sled dogs in rescuing a puppy from a band of marauding hyenas. Though terrified of the hyenas, Lola discovers she has true courage after all, and Santa Paws invites the pair back to ride again next Christmas Eve. At the end of the book kids are invited to become a part of Santa Paws’ team of helpers by making any size or type of contribution to any dog rescue organization. Then they can email Harry and Lola at jean@harryandlola.org to receive an official personalized poster showing they are part of the Santa Paws team. "Harry and Lola Help Santa Paws", returns the pair as Christmas Eve helpers, but this time they bring a friend. Just before they leave to meet Santa Paws they find a neglected young Corgi which they name Prince. Prince needs a home but there is no time to deal with that, so they bring him with them to help Santa Paws. Before going on their Christmas Eve world tour giving treats and food to dogs, the Christmas troupe has to rescue dogs that have been injured in a Christmas Eve tornado. Prince discovers strength and courage he didn’t know he had. When Prince works to help dogs in need, he discovers his passion for his life and Santa Paws discovers an apprentice. At the end of the story readers are again invited to become part of Santa Paw’s team. "Bernie’s First Christmas" is about the newest member of Harry and Lola’s rescued Scottie dog family. Having spent the first six months of his life in a small cage, never seeing the sun or a blue sky, Bernie is in love with his new life. That love and passion sometimes gets him in trouble. So ... when Christmas stockings are hung by the fireplace and Lola tells Bernie they mean good dogs will receive presents on Christmas, Bernie wonders if he has been a good dog. He explores all the things he’s done wrong since coming to his new home and concludes, “There isn’t going to be a Christmas for Bernie.” Kids love this story because they can relate to Bernie’s concern. They also love the ending! All profits from the sale of "The Harry and Lola Christmas Collection" go to Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue.
