A cute book to get into the Christmas season full of catch phrases and rhymes from all the classic Christmas carols. The art work is super cute full of woodland animals and a white Christmas. It caused us to sing many a Christmas song before bed!🫶

It’s Christmas Eve and all the animal families are celebrating the festive night before Santa shows up, in this rhyming story each page is a take on a classic Carol.

This was adorable I absolutely loved that it had adaptations of many different beautiful classic Christmas Carols I was able to identify each of them and they were just so beautifully and lovingly written. I really enjoyed seeing the new take of them within this story.

The illustrations were stunning and so beautiful all the adorable animal families celebrating the holidays and I loved spending a long time looking at them all. This book was so beautiful throughout, it’s got an interactive quality as little ones can learn the rhymes used from the carols within the book and also they have lots to look at.

I really enjoyed this precious Christmas book, I think it will be a favourite for many as they can sing along, you can introduce little ones to the full carols along side this book and it is really wonderful to look at on every page. A wonderful Christmas book to read during the holidays.

A pretty and fairly enjoyable book, but one whose text deliberately, brazenly and openly just cribs from all the other, better Christmas verses and songs. We get a playlist through a QR code at the end so we can find the words to those, but all bar the very young will be reading this and tripping over that beat of recognition, getting that sense of deja vu, and seeing just how cut-n-paste this whole affair is. I mean, it’s done well for such a creation, as I say, and the artist has no cause for being down-marked, but the text is a bit of a rum do, and no mistake. Using so many classics doesn’t make this nearly one, in my mind.

It’s a cute Christmas story. My two year old grandson enjoyed it The illustrations are sweet and pretty. It’s an animal retelling of The Night Before Christmas. I voluntarily read a free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through Net Galley.
