How wholesome and cute this festive book is! I enjoyed the poem flow through the story.
Kairi and the lab pups look so cute as they are excited with the holiday season.
I enjoyed reading and seeing the illustrations of how they were trying to get Casper into the festive season.
The end was heart warming and will put a smile on anyone’s faces and get you started into the Christmas season.
Little ones will find the true meaning of Christmas with this book..
I felt like reading a children’s christmas book to give me some cute Christmas cheer. The pictures in this were so vivid. It’s about a girl and her dogs who find a grinch-y cat who hates Christmas. They convince the cat why Christmas is special. Very cute!
This book is so sweet and heartwarming, perfect for the holiday season! One of the two main things that I really liked about this story was the character development that we get, even in a short book. We learn about Casper's backstory and why he's so grumpy around Christmastime. This "origin story" wasn't too dark, and gives the reader just enough information to really appreciate the entire story and its well-thought-out plot. The other thing that worked for this book was the message. The holiday season is one of the best times to celebrate and teach kindness, and this book does a great job of doing that. I hope that young readers will be able to follow in Kairi's footsteps and be kind to those around them, even if the journey is hard. Kairi works through challenges and obstacles, and ends up with success in the end, which is such an important thing for little ones to see in the books they read. Lastly, the illustrations were warm, crisp, and colorful, and captured the joyful Christmas spirit on every page.
Bravo!
A lovely picture book for younger children to consider the meaning of giving at Christmas. Kairi and her pups decide to give a gift to a little someone they meet - but will they be able to bring the joy of Christmas to this stranger?
This is a well-written rhyming book and will delight many a young reader.
A Little Labradoodle Christmas is about cat who gets a new family during the holidays. The illustrations are very sweet and Carson the cat gives all the grumpy cat vibes. He goes from being very anti-holidays, to a loved member of a family because a girl and some dogs took a chance on him. This would be a great read for early elementary kiddos!
Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
Such a fun and sweet story. I love the themes and dogs becoming friends with the cat. Can’t wait to buy!
Cute holiday story about love and acceptance! Great illustrations and a perfect holiday story for families to read together year after year.
Cute little book. My niece loved it. She enjoyed pointing out all the rhyming words! The story had several animals which she enjoyed along with a Christmas theme.
Thank you to Net Galley for this e- copy of A Little Labradoodle Christmas by April M Cox in exchange for a honest review. This is a cute Christmas story similar to How the Grinch Saved Christmas. A little girl named Kairi and her labradoodles find a cat named Casper while on a walk and convince him to come live with them . He hates Christmas because he was abandoned the Christmas before. Can Kairi and the pups convince Casper to live with them and enjoy life? Read the book and find out.
This is adorable!! I will have to gift a copy of this to my nephews. Such a cute and heartwarming story featuring a grumpy cat named Casper. I’m so glad that Casper ended up finding a great home, and that he now knows the meaning of Christmas!
As the holiday season approaches, I've been reading more Christmas books and I love when I found one that not only tells a festive story but also teaches values. A Little Labradoodle Christmas, written by April M. Cox and illustrated by Remesh Ram, does exactly that.
This charming picture book centers around a young girl and her Labradoodles as they try to bring holiday cheer to a grumpy cat. The story unfolds through delightful rhymes that keep young readers engaged, while the vibrant illustrations capture the warmth and excitement of the season.
The main themes of the book—kindness, friendship, and family—are woven in a way that feels simple and accessible for children. By watching the young girl and her furry companions, children learn the importance of making others feel safe and welcome. In a world where kindness can sometimes feel scarce, A Little Labradoodle Christmas is a timely reminder of the power of small gestures and open hearts.
If you’re in search of a holiday gift that combines charm, wisdom, and the spirit of Christmas, this book is a wonderful choice. I haven't read the other books of the series but I'm sure all of them are cute. Make sure to add it to your holiday reading list!

This is such a sweet story! I loved everything rhymed it made me think of Dr. Seuss. I think it’s an important message for all kids to be kind because we never know what someone is truly feeling or going through. I also love how the authors child collaborated with her on this idea.
