Jack the dog plays happily in his backyard with visitors from outer space, but is not so sure that he wants to go home with them.

Biscuit, a little puppy, and Sam, a big dog, play together despite their difference in size.

As Biscuit the puppy celebrates Christmas by going on sleigh rides, wearing woolly sweaters, and playing around the tree, readers can feel the textures of such objects as sweaters, a horse's mane, and Santa's beard.
