The 25 short stories in the book are all Christmas-themed or have to do with love and giving. They're perfect for reading to kids (or the kids reading to themselves) throughout the 25 days of December till Christmas. But the stories are short enough to be read in one or two sittings, if you prefer. I believe the stories are original ones from the author, and they're good ones.The bonus tongue-twisters, jokes, and games are a nice extra. The ten tongue-twisters had my tongue in knots after a couple of minutes (try saying "Little Larry licked a lovely licorice lollipop and sang a lovely long lullaby" three times fast). Kids will love the ten jokes, even if they are corny ones. The nine games are the "find the hidden object" and "find the difference" kind of puzzles often published in newspapers and brainteaser books. The answers are shown on the page following the puzzle.I read the book on my Kindle Fire HD, where the story illustrations were in color. I also pushed the story onto my Kindle Paperwhite, where it was fine, although the illustrations were in grayscale.
