I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
What a beautiful, fun Christmas Eve story! I loved the drawings and the imagination of this book,
The Christmas Snow Globe is a magical picture book that will enchant youngsters and parents alike. Lucy is dreaming of a white Christmas. This charming when Lucy and Noah are disappointed at the lack of snow, they open one present on Christmas eve-a snow globe. Lucy gives the snow globe one last shake before closing her eyes and soon she is surprised that it is snowing in the house. The lyrical writing and the adorable illustrations take the reader through an evening of snow time fun inside the house. the nostalgic graphite pencil illustrations have just a touch of color added with colored pencil and add a dreamy quality to the story. This book is a literary Christmas tree with five stars on top.
This little picture book is such a delightful Christmas experience. Lucy and Noah are awake on Christmas Eve and get drawn into a Christmas snow globe, where they enjoy a white Christmas and have fun, wintery adventures. The pictures are warm and cozy, and this book is so sweet. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.
The illustrations completely wrap you in a warm and cozy feeling while you follow Lucy and Noah on their Christmas Eve adventures. The flow of the story adds to the cozy feelings, as one can relate to wishing for a "white Christmas."
A delightful children’s Christmas book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is right out of a child’s imagination. I loved it so much that I bought a copy to read to my grandchildren.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The Christmas Snow Globe was magical. It made me immediately go back to that feeling of childhood wonder and magic. There was this almost nostalgic feeling within the story and in the illustrations with a timeless feel.
This story encourages children to use their imagination and believe in the magic of Christmas.
I highly recommend this.
Instead of a five star review I say five snowflakes ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
This story was magical, and consequently sprinkles a little extra magic into kids' lives. Further, this book will no doubt encourage kids to use their imaginations and continue to believe in the things that they make up. However, one thing I will say is the drawings were a little too drab for a book such as this. Adding some vibrant color, especially towards the end, would have helped readers feel more wonder and joy. That aside, everything else about this book was perfect! The plot was well-organized but I also didn't see the ending coming! I believe that, since it surprised me, it will also surprise young readers and this is awesome! It really adds to the entertainment and excitement value of the overall book. These qualities will likely make this a repeat-read. Lastly, the premise was creative and unique. Taking an ordinary thing (snow globe) and giving it a new quality (magic) is common, but the author breathed new life into this old(er) idea.
Bravo!
A quick and joyous read that celebrates the magic of Christmas and the power of the imagination. A great book for the Christmas season. This one left me smiling.
The Christmas Snowglobe has the most stunning illustrations! I was totally captured by the style of the illustration. The story was sweet, magical, and cozy. All of the important parts of a children’s Christmas/Holiday book. I plan to buy a copy of this so we can read it again and again.
I received an electronic ARC from Publisher Spotlight through NetGalley.
Charming story about longing for snow on Christmas. Lucy and Noah are disappointed on Christmas Eve as there is no snow. They lament about Christmas not being the same. Their dad lets them open a gift and it is a snow globe with a house that looks like theirs. In their bedroom, Lucy shakes the snow globe and magic happens. The two enjoy snow inside their home. Readers see all the fun they experience and are left to decide if it was a dream. And, of course, there is snow on Christmas morning.
A magical tale for younger readers. The artwork is done in muted tones but highly detailed.
Gorgeous illustrations with a timeless feel. "The Christmas Snow Globe" would be delightful to share with children (or adults) for a holiday read. Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the ARC. Pub Date: Sept 10, 2024"
