When Posey Peeked at Christmas
By Ann Dixon and Anne Kennedy
2/5
()
About this ebook
Posey loves Christmas, especially the presents! She shakes and squeezes each gift—what's inside? And one afternoon, when she's alone, Posey picks up a present and lifts the wrapping just a little.
Ann Dixon
Ann Dixon lives in Alaska with her husband, two daughters, and cat. In addition to writing, she works as an elementary school librarian. When Posey Peeked at Christmas, Ms. Dixon's eighth picture book, is based partly on personal experience. She swears she never peeked again—at least, not on purpose!
