A really cute Christmas story with great illustrations and rhyme that will appeal to younger readers.

A cute Christmas story about Chris the Moose and his friends. Lovely illustrations which complemented the story well. Perfect read for the holiday season and suitable for children.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Book for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Legend of Chris Moose: A Christmas Story by John Clark looks to be a very interesting and enjoyable story while also teaching a lesson. I do wish I had been able to download it but do not own a Kindle. The kindle computer app will not download the story. The cover and description get 4 Stars.

The Legend of Chris Moose: A Christmas Story by author Allen Northcutt is an adorable and fun read! We have read this multiple times already with our daughters, it’s a holiday hit here by all! The absolute cutest characters in a great story.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of The Legend of Chris Moose in exchange for an honest review.

A short Christmas story about a moose that is named Ugly. When visiting his friends for Christmas he is too large to fit inside the house to participate in Christmas. With the help of his beloved friends, they find a way to allow Ugly to be a intricate part of Christmas and thus renaming him Chris Moose. Which reflects how beautiful he really is. A short sweet story of being uplifted by your friends when you feel down about yourself.

I am a sucker for an adorable Christmas story, and The Legend of Chris Moose is just that! Chris Moose follows an “ugly duckling” storyline about a moose that isn’t so handsome, in fact he’s quite ugly and feeling down on himself.
But it is Christmas time in the forest and all the woodland creatures are heading to Momma Bear and Pappa Bear’s house for Christmas, along with the Moose. When they arrive they find Momma Bear and Pappa Bear upset for having overslept, and the Moose is able to help out in the most festive and adorable way.

Book Feature on my blog at the beginning of December. Part of my Christmas month on my children's/middle grade/young adult site.

A charming book, just in time for the Christmas season.

This is a cute book. I loved the rhyming which is so helpful when teaching young children how words can work. The message this story sends is perfect for the holiday season. Illustrations were beautiful.

What a sweet children's book. The illustrations are very bright and beautiful to hold a child's attention. This would make a wonderful bedtime story. Thank you BooksGoSocial via NetGalley for the free copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.

A book about the transformative time of Christmas – and here, of course, the transformation is done by a host of animals who all think of their friendly neighbourhood moose as Ugly. Ugly by name, if not by nature, he takes all the animals to the bears' residence for a party, and there's a laugh to be had whatever your tastes at seeing them all perched across the width of his antlers. But still he feels left out… The fact the title of the book calls him Chris and not Ugly kind of gives the story away about whether or not he does prove to fit in, but the way he does is cute and original, although surely very draughty for all involved. The second moral is about not needing a present for the season, if you can make sure your presence is enough. Pleasant, if not brilliant – the rhyming is fine, but the meter awkward with the lines getting longer and longer throughout. Four stars is a tad generous, but hey – it's that season.

Ugly the Moose really hated his name. He had friends, but he wanted to be more a part of what was going on. He was too big to fit into the house that all his friends were having a party at. Poppa Bear had slept through getting the tree and there was nothing to be done. It would take to long to get to the tree.
But Ugly has an idea, and he might just save Christmas for all of his friends!!

Great book! I really enjoyed reading this and look forward to reading it to my sons.

This is a sweet holiday story. If your child enjoys animals then this is a book for you. Many different animal friends are included. We liked it is a little different as well as having some of the same elements you expect from a holiday story. It includes some rhyming words too helping with early reading. It is another book to add to the holiday family reading rotation.

This book was very cute. My 8 yr old grand daughter read it too me. She liked the book too. It was a great book for a first grader to read without problems. We really liked the story of the Christmas Moose.

Because this was an ebook picture book, I could not change the font size, but the pictures were well lined up.

The rhyming was forced and difficult. This is definitely not equal to a Dr. Seuss rhyming. On the other hand, the story is sweet and the moral is apt. Ugly names are hurtful and everyone wants to be included and to feel useful.

I look forward to reading this to my grandchildren the next time they visit.

This is the only book that has been released by author Allen Northcutt. I hope he creates more children’s books in the future.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted copy via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Loved the story and illustrations! I have read this to/with several young children, up to age 10, and all enjoyed the story. It reinforces the ability of friendship to overcome many differences and that friends come in all shapes and sizes. If you've never seen a young moose, you don't know how an animal can be ugly and cute at the same time. Allen Northcutt has done an excellent job of writing a new favorite for many children.

4☆ A Sweet Festive Children's Book.

The Legend of Chris Moose is a charming Children's Picture Book that was beautifully illustrated and was written in wonderful rhyme.

I loved this sweet story. It's a story about a Moose called Ugly who feels left out and feels Ugly compared to all his friends.

But it's Christmas Day and one by one he takes all his animal friends to the Bears Christmas Party.
However when they get there Bear has overslept.
So they all muck In and help tidy up getting the place ready for a party.
But Moose is too big and once again left out.

That is until they realise they need his help and Moose saves the day and becomes the most beautiful Moose.
How does he save the day?.... you will just have to read it to find out!
This beautifully festive Children's Book is all about being kind, helping each other, not leaving anyone out and sharing. At first I was a little apprehensive of the word Ugly in a Children's Book but once you read the storyline you have an understanding of the Authors moral to the story.
I adored how the book was written in rhyming verse and I think it will capture children's attention perfectly.

The Legend of Chris Moose is a sweet Christmas Story and would be suited for readers aged 4-6years.
