We love Fiona in our house! This Fiona story is no different. The way that Fiona learns the meaning of Christmas is such a sweet moment with her friends!

Another cute story of Fiona the Hippo at the zoo. Fiona hears that it's Christmas time and the other animals help her learn what that means. She also meets another new animal at the zoo, Chloe the Koala. I think some of the pages may have been missing here, but the story was cute and the illustrations are gorgeous!

Fiona learns what Christmas is all about from her friends at the zoo.

I like that Fiona learns about giving after her friends teach her about several Christmas activities. She knows what to do when she meets a new friend and does something kind to cheer her up. I think this is a great message to give children.

I think the illustrations are adorable, especially the expressions on Fiona’s face!

💕Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing this ebook for me to read and review.

I was initially drawn into this book based on the art on the front cover and by the story of Fiona. My class followed the story of Fiona and we love her. Knowing that there is a connection to her made this book even better! The art for this book is amazing! I really enjoyed the story itself and the journey they go on throughout the book to understand Christmas. This could be an interesting and engaging lesson with my students to do in December to connect our understanding of what the holiday means to us and to those around us. Clearly, the lesson could center around the differences and the similarities between our experiences and expectations. Beautiful story and beautiful art!

Another sweet story, this one about Fiona learning and understanding the true meaning of Christmas. I read this with my 5 year old and she loved it, the illustrations were as always beautiful. This is a sweet holiday story for the whole family to enjoy, I would definitely recommend.

This was a heart warming Christmas tale. Reading how Fiona finds out the meaning of Christmas and what's it all about is joyous. The pictures that went along with the story were as always awesome. I cannot think of a child or parent that wouldn't love to read this at Christmas.

This is such a cute story of friendship and the meaning of sharing love with others. Our family has followed Fiona on social media and so this is a cute addition to our seasonal books!

How can anyone not love the Fiona books. This one is super short. Perfect for younger readers. As always, the artwork is stunning. My kiddo asked me to read it a couple times to them.
Thank you so much to Zanderkidz and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book.

I would like to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to review an advanced copy of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.
The illustrations are nice and vibrant. The illustrations and the theme of the story lack cohesiveness. The overall theme is lacking in flow and is distracting. I would not purchase this book. (Note, my download only had 5 pages total.)

My son and I loved this book. We live in Dayton Ohio, so we frequent the Cincinnati Zoo, always with a stop to see Bibi, Tucker, Fiona & Fritz. It could have just been the download but I felt like the story was missing a few pages in the middle. Overall, it was a good read for a bedtime story.

Fiona, my favorite hippo, will help a lot of children to know the importance of friendship and maintain it. This is a perfect book for the little ones to be generous to other friends.

A Very Fiona Christmas by Richard Cowdrey. A Very Fiona Christmas is a great story about Fiona. Children love her stories. They will love this story about Fiona’s generous gift to her friend.

I love these Fiona books and if they were published by a non Christian publisher, this book would get 5 stars. But the whole point of this book is for Fiona to find out the meaning of Christmas and Jesus is NEVER mentioned. Big miss.

Very cute concise picture of the true meaning of Christmas. The illustrations are adorable and on point. I haven't been to the zoo personally but I can only imagine some things (like Koalatown) are taken from the zoo itself. This would be an adorable book to sell with a tiny copy of Fiona's scarf!

Fiona is a happy hippo, and is excited for her first Christmas. But she has no idea what Christmas is, until she met Chloe, the Koala. Fiona realizes that Christmas is so many things, but what makes it special is the love and sharing of friendship.This is a wonderful story with a great message. I loved the illustrations, the detail and the expressions of Fiona. Excellent book.
Thanks Net Galley for sending this e-book ARC for review.

Another cute Fiona the Hippo story. The illustrations are cute and colorful, I only wish it was longer! Thankfully, no christian tie in (thank god, pun intended).

My son and I love little Fiona! We have really enjoyed this series of books! It was fun to see Fiona at Christmas. The illustrations are sweet. The story was engaging. My four year old was entertained the entire time. This book has a great message for young children about the true meaning of Christmas! Definitely a great book to read during Christmas time.

A Very Fiona Christmas is a short and sweet book about Fiona the hippo's first Christmas at the zoo. Through the course of the book, she learns what Christmas is. The illustrations are cute and the book has a great message about the true meaning of Christmas.

I loved the illustrations in this book! The story was very cute as well, but it felt like it could have been a tiny bit longer. The transition from Fiona’s activities to a new zoo mate and then the end was slightly abrupt. Other than that I liked it very much.

What a perfect book for showing us the true meaning of Christmas. Lovely illustrations, that teach that the things we associate with Christmas such as Christmas trees, snow and reindeers are enjoyable but that what matters most is friends, love and sharing. The enjoyment of giving gifts is just as special as receiving them. This will be a lovely gift for my young grandson. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me access to an ARC in return for my honest review.
