Summary
It's almost Christmas, and Gilbert finds it hard to pay attention in school. When Mrs. Byrd gives the class homework for the weekend, Gilbert just can't seem to find the time to do it. After all, this is a busy season. He has to help his mother and sister bake Christmas cookies. He also has to make time to go ice skating with his friends. And the tree has to be decorated too! The joyous holiday feeling around Gilbert's house comes alive in warm, colorful, and humorous scenes. And every child who's ever put off a chore will sympathize with him when Monday morning rolls around...
