A surprisingly cute little story. I think I had that bear - only he went by the name of Teddy Ruxpin (lol). I can totally sympathize with the Dad's decision; I've needed a way to unload my personal burdens before. The idea of the role of the Christmas Toy is intriguing. Overall, this is a 4 1/2 star story. The plot is solid 5 stars, the mechanics of the writing are 5 stars. The point of view gets 4 stars because it is a little weird in the first person point of view. It does work for this story though.This is one you could read to the kiddos, but the youngest won't understand it. They will just enjoy the surface facts of the story (kind of like the Shrek movies: they're funny to adults for the things the kids don't really understand).Recommended.
