From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3. A lively picture book that stars Walter, the family dog, and his young mistress, Louise, in a series of holiday misadventures. In the first chapter, the dog gets into?and chews up?all of the girl's handmade and carefully wrapped presents. Predictably, chapter two opens with Walter in the doghouse. Still, he follows the family into the woods to look for a Christmas tree. Good thing, too, because Louise gets lost and Walter finds her. In the final episode, Walter sneaks downstairs to investigate the new presents that Louise has left under the tree. And who should be there? Well, Walter's not sure, but he wears a red suit and gives him a bone before swooping back up the chimney. With humor and warmth, Christelow expresses the family's cozy relationships and preholiday excitement. The watercolor and pen-and-ink cartoons are filled with appealing characters?especially Louise, an intrepid young lady, hands on hips and garbed in a blue, polka-dot bathrobe and yellow boots, who stands angrily in front of the doghouse containing a chagrined Walter. Don't wait for Christmas to share this entertaining romp one-on-one or in a family read-aloud.
