review 1: This cute Christmas story will get lots of chuckles from your little ones. Squidge is a cute little elf who just wants to be big enough to help in Santa’s workshop. When he tries to surprise the big Elves by showing them he can help, things don’t go as planned and little Squidge ends up on an unexpected adventure with Santa.I had so much fun reading this to my 4-year-old. It’s cute, funny and modern enough that kids can relate to it. The pictures are minimal, but cute. This story is quick enough that kids won’t get bored. This would probably entertain children between the ages of 4-6.
review 2: This is a train wreck of a kid's book. The story teaches no moral and is very superficial. The writing reads like a Nickelodeon cartoon (don't they get enoug... moreh of the fluff on TV?) The premise starts cute enough, with Santa's workshop modernized for the age of children asking for electronic toys, but then it doesn't capitalize on that unique idea that could have made an interesting story. The only thing resembling an antagonist in the story shows up randomly in an implausible place (implausible even in a story with elves...if that says anything) with a motive that was apparently just pulled out of the air and will confuse children. All in all, don't waste your time. less
