"I received a signed copy of this as a win from First Reads on GoodReads. When I first got it in the mail I flipped through fairly quickly, smiling at the art and the Canadian items that were given and I thought it was very cute. The book quickly made it's way to other family members that day and it was amusing to listen to people reading it out loud. Everyone tends to end up singing about halfway through the book--you just can't resist. My 2 year old niece demanded it be read to her multiple times. Then my 7 year old son took the book to school for show and tell. The teacher read it to the class at reading time, and all the kids loved it. My son was thrilled that people were so impressed with the book, and the teacher seemed quite happy to have had the chance to read it as well. While the level and the pictures are definitely intended for children, I think the book is suitable for all ages. It's a cute and funny take on the old Christmas carol, and it had a wonderful Canadian spin to it. This is already becoming a favourite book in this house." -Reviewed by Laureen on Goodreads.
