When the three little bears decide to have a party for all their fairy-tale friends on Christmas Eve, they are expecting a fun time. They plan everything so that nothing will go wrong. But all the planning in the world cannot guarantee an outcome. Things quickly start to go wrong and then, something they never imagined happens. A simple bump sends the whole party asunder, but it also knocks Santa out of the sky. Can this jolly group of fairy-tale creatures help Santa get back on track before it is too late?
This is a unique and charming story. I enjoyed this take, where everyone is coming to a party. Also, I liked that the fairy-tale creatures did not stop at any one kind of creature; there were princesses, Jack Frost, the Big Bad Wolf, and even the Giant. It was nice to see that they all lived in the same world. Something that does not happen often in books.
The illustrations are gorgeous and humorous. I like how the chaos of the party is presented. The colors are warm and cheerful in many of the pages, and when Santa is knocked out of the sky, the cold of the night and the cold of the pool is seen in the illustrations.
The diction the author chose for this book is easy for my children to understand without question, for the most part. It does not rhyme but it does flow smoothly throughout the story. Added to that, I liked how the author used some of the original phrases and wording that children have come to associate with the characters present.
All in all, I enjoyed this book and feel that it would be a great addition to any library. I received this book from WorthyKids for the sole purpose of providing an honest review and would recommend it to families who participate in Santa Claus traditions. I would give this book five stars.
