This wonderful children’s Christmas story can be read “to” a child or “with” a child. The text stands on its own and creates beautiful images as you read. The wonderfully colorful text is enhanced by the beautiful artwork, so if the child is sitting next to you on the couch, following along, they will love the artwork. If you are reading the story to a child or a group of children, they will be able to visualize the story without seeing the pictures. Julia’s explanation of how the images were restored is the most extensive of any of her retro comics so far, making the story interesting for adults.One of the reviewers mentioned that this story would be a great children’s TV cartoon for the holidays. As I began reading this wonderful children’s story, I began imagining it as a TV cartoon. It’s perfect. I wish I could shout out to some TV producers to make this into a cartoon. I know this is the kind of story that young children would like to watch many times. It is relaxing and has that same hypnotic quality as Thomas the Train.I highly recommend this five-star children’s story to children and adults.
