Let me start by saying: this is a GREAT children’s book! The message was pitch perfect with what you would want your child to be learning at Christmas time. The language was great. Not too much, but not too little. Also, it had good flow and rhymed really well, which is a plus for kids’ books. The first, and most instantly noticeable thing about this book is the binding. It is one of those books with the puffy covers, so it’s kind of soft on the outside. It’s a great touch for a children’s book. It also has the thick (kind of cardboard-like) pages. Which are great if you have kids that like to grab at the pages. They’ll have a tough time ripping those pages out. The illustrations are somewhat stylized. In some cases, this can be bad. In other cases, it’s good. This is one of those cases where it is good. The illustrations are done well and don’t distract from the words or the message of the book. Overall, I thought this was a great children’s book. This was the first children’s book I’ve received from the BookSneeze program through Thomas Nelson Publishers and I will definitely be selecting more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with young children who want a book that highlights what we should really be thankful for at Christmas.
