This delightful story kept them engaged with all the Christmas floats, rocking horses, teddy bears, nutcrackers, one candy cane castle, angels, and elves. As a Christian, I loved how the authors wove in Jesus birth, and made this childrens book to be Christian as well. This book is perfect for home, schools, and libraries. I highly recommend this book. ~ Susan"I enjoyed this short but powerful story with a moral within it. The beautiful illustrations also played a big role in telling this story as well,so I wish to recommend this for five stars and for kids especially from 4-11 years of age. I received this book for free and in return , here is my honest review. Super JOB!" ~ Angela"This book warmed my heart at the same time it made me laugh out loud!The combination of illustrations and photography is very funny and seems to be done tongue-in-cheek. Yet theyre done in a way that a child will absolutely adore because theyre so child-like and simple and so darn cute. The story reads in the way that you would tell a story to a child, with simple phrases and straight to the point. But that does not take away from it. What child doesnt love a great little story, full of detail and whimsy, with adventure and a happy ending, after all? I highly recommend this book for children of all ages. And for adults that like to tell stories aloud to their children at bedtime rather than always reading them. This gives that sort of opportunity, but with funny pictures, to boot!" ~ Jaime
