‘Christmas was just three days away, and Robin was about to head out on a adventure. He was off to visit his grandpa, who lived all the way on the other side of the mountain in the Valley of the Three Trees’

ROBIN’S CHRISTMAS JOURNEY by Maya Onodera is such a sweet story.
It’s about a little mouse who’s braving all sorts of danger to spend Christmas with his grandfather.
It really is the kind of comforting stories you need during these cold nights, wrapped up in your blankets.
Family is really a very important and special element in our life and sometimes our elders feel disconnected because of the gap of generations but all we need to do is to take some times and talk to them.
You would be surprise of the life they had and sometimes the ordeals they had to face.
Christmas is the perfect time to reconnect with them, but you don’t have to wait until Christmas to do so, because time waits for no one so enjoy every moment while you still can.
Back to the book, I recommend reading this even if it’s supposed to be a children’s book, or make it a present for parents so they can read it with their children for example, wouldn’t be a perfect Christmas gift?

Cute, adventurous story of a determined mouse. It will make a nice addition to Christmas collections.

This is a story of a brave little mouse named Robin. He sets out on a journey and along the way encounters many things that prolong his journey to see his grandfather. He does make it and is greeting with a warm embrace.

This is a pretty typical Christmas story of someone trying to get to a loved one, and obstacles being put in their path. In a way this reminds me of the Hobbit. That solo journey when Bilbo escaped and found the end with a bit of brains and a lot of luck. Well, it’s the same plot, just not as many orks and no golem. Overall the story is nice, but it’s long winded. I think this would be better as a spoken word tale rather than a written one.

Robin the mouse is on adventure. His grandfather lives on the other side of the mountain and he wants to spend Christmas with his grandfather. You and your child will go on the journey with Robin as he goes thru torrential terrain. The illustrations are pleasing to the eye and your child will appreciate how Robin solves problems and never gives up!

It doesn't matter how old I get, a good Christmas picture book always brings all the feels! This book was no different.

Robin's Christmas Journey is a sweet little book with marvelous illustrations to bring Christmas cheer! This one has a fair bit of story packed tight in it, making it a good read for an older audience - maybe 5 years and up.

Robin is a little mouse and he goes on a journey. It's quite the whimsical yet scary journey for our little mouse friend, but it's still of adventure.

Overall, this is a great read for little adventure lovers!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clavis for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Robin's Christmas Journey is an adorable story of strength, courage, and determination. This is a great story for kids to learn about not giving up when obstacles appear in their paths - stay the course and you'll reach your goals! I love how it also teaches that Christmas isn't about gifts, but about being together with loved ones. The illustrations are cozy and done very well. I have to admit that I read the title before looking at the cover and I was a little surprised to see that Robin was a mouse and not the bird. My first impression of the title as a children's book would be of the bird, not a mouse. Overall, this is a sweet and cozy read no matter the time of year. I would recommend this book and purchase it for my son.

I really loved this book, it was a beautiful book to snuggle up in bed with my daughter and read and enjoy.

She loved the little characters and Robin was great – and the images are simply delightful.

This is definitely a book we will read again when the nights drawn in and Christmas approaches.

It is 5 stars from me for this one, I love books like this – a lovely story – very highly recommended!

Robin's Christmas Journey // by Maya Odonera

Robin's Christmas Journey is a wonderful addition to anybody's Christmas book lineup! Robin really wants to see his grandpa for Christmas and while the journey is long and dangerous, he is confident that he can make it there in time. I think the length of this book is perfect for a young reader ready for their own adventure or for a parent to read to their young child. This book can teach them perseverance in both real life and as a reader embarking on their first book that isn't just a few words per page. The illustrations are very cute and keep the experience fun as a reader or listener. Robin has to figure out how to get out of several tricky situations but shows us that with determination we can read what is important to us in the end.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Little Robin wanted to spend Christmas with his Grandpa so badly, he journeyed through the woods and over the mountain on his own, but things didn't go as planned, he ran into some mishaps that threaten his life. A lovely story with vibrantly colored quirky illustrations, it's a nice book. I’m sorry for the three-star but it truly needs a little adjusting.

Robin's Christmas journey is an adventurous book about a family reuniting for Christmas. I love that it reiterates that family is the best present. The illustrations are great as well.

This is a cute Christmas adventure story. The illustrations are very nice. Robin wants to visit his grandfather for Christmas. He has a long journey and many predators and obstacles on the way. He is courageous and nothing stops him. I thought maybe there were too many predators. All in all it was a cute story and makes a cute Christmas story.

Robin’s Christmas Journey by Maya Onodera I loved this book about his journey to his grandpas house. I will definitely buy this book in print though I loved all the pictures in the ebook. Was a very colorful and cute story about Robins Journey.

This is such an amazing attempt of storytelling!

I love the storytelling in this picture book so much. Everything is in sync.

The highlights being the amazing, soft, wonderful, adventurous illustrations. And then there's even a more adventurous story about this brave little mouse who has decided to visit his grandfather to gift him a present.

On the way, our brave little mouse faces a lot of hardships and threats but all these been turned into adventures as our little mouse is brave and ready to face anything.

The ending is so warm and sweet.

Love it. Love the writing. It is so much fun to read it aloud!

I do feel the cover could have been better. The art on the cover cannot be compared with that inside the book. I wish the cover had similar artwork as that used in the story.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.

Now this story says Christmas to me! A little mouse named Robin, sets off three days before Christmas to visit his grandpa on the other side of the mountain. He faces lots of dangers getting there, but finds help along the way. I think littles will enjoy the suspense of Robin's journey! Not too intense, just some close calls. The illustrations were very nice. This story would make a nice stocking stuffer.

A very sweet and charming story about Robin's journey to see his grandpa for Christmas. It was a great adventure and a fun story to read. I think this would make a great christmas read for kids, especially with their grandparents, I thought that this story was quite charming and perfect for the holidays.

This book is absolutely adorable, with lovely illustrations that evoke wintry charm. Simply delightful, if a bit wordy for my young sons. I'd be happy to add this to our library!
