Cute little Christmas board book! Adorable illustrations! Very simple and not too long, but it is a board book - I think toddlers would enjoy the bright colors and cute story.

I love Fiona so much! Ever since she was born, Fiona has been a star at the Cincinnati Zoo. In this cute picture book, Fiona has fun with her friends at the zoo. It's sweet and heartwarming. This really makes me want to make the trip to Cincinnati to see Fiona in person. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I love Fiona! I’m fortunate to live close to Fiona and have visited her. This book really picks up on the essence of Fiona. Such a cute story about what Christmas is about. I also loved the colorful pastel inspired palette in the illustrations.

I have followed Fiona's Story at the Cincinnati Zoo since she was born, and A Very Fiona Christmas was a very cute read, appropriate for young children. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

This is such a sweet quick read, perfect for toddlers and early readers. It was illustrated beautifully, will definitely capture the interest of its target audience, and is a great addition to children’s Christmas books. I would happily purchase this for my 3 year old son who loves animals! Well done!

A Very Fiona Christmas is a Board Book about Fiona the Hippo having her first Christmas at the zoo. The illustrations were adorable as Fiona celebrated & learned about friends and Christmas at the zoo. This was VERY short since it is a board book and was only 10 pages. I felt like this had almost been adapted from a longer picture book as the narrative moved so quickly, but it was still a fun holiday read. I LOVED seeing Fiona wrapped up in lights and playing with her friends.

Thanks to Zondervan, NetGalley, and Richard Cowdrey for the chance to read and review!

Fiona is a real zoo animal who stars in this fiction picture book series. Children are sure to enjoy the fun stories and charming pictures in all the Fiona picture books. Public libraries will want to add this newest holiday book to their collections.
