Eh, I didn't think it was that great. I don't like stories with morals. But there were some pretty good parts, I think.

I don't like utterly angelic children. It's so...unnatural.

This book is simply magical! I love the fact that Santa is asked what he wants for Christmas: it's something that not many kids would think of doing. The drawings in this book are adorable, and I just LOVE all of the animal friends that she makes on her journey. Overall, this is on my top list of favorite books!

I really liked this book, but it wasn't the best I've ever read.

This is probably my absolute favorite book in the entire universe, and that's a big deal, since I read about four books a week. The drawings are so intricate and meaningful, and the Christmas magic of this book is overwhelming. Anyone who likes any sort of fantasy or Christmas tales should read this book!

This book is incredible! It's filled with adventure, love, kindness, and a girl trying to find out who she is and where she belongs. Read it!
