review 1: Really more for adults than children, Fletcher's story is a based on the punishing side of Santa. If you're naughty, bad things will happen. Youth & adults can laugh and talk about greed, the meaning of christmas, and the spiritual issue of judgment. But for younger children, it just might be a bit too scary. I also wouldn't recommend it for folks who've undergone a recent disaster, like a giant storm and flood. Check below the spoiler alert for why.Spoiler alert, turn back now:Tired of one little boy's greed, Santa gives him the ultimate greedy present: a dinosaur. The dinosaur eats everyone and everything, including mum, dad, and grandma, before letting loose. The greedy little boy is left with nothing, home wrecked. Even after the dinosaur returns Christmas, the family ... moreand home is left covered in waste, which says something about the permanence and lingering reality of really bad things and attitudes, it has a heart a few sizes too small for my taste.That said, I give the book high marks, because it does lend itself to interesting and important conversation for the older crowd, including, I should imagine, what it is we're looking for in Christmas tales.
review 2: I had to read to see how you could make this work for Christmas, it about a greedy boy for which he never has enough so Santa decides to leave him an egg which hatches into a dinosaur who eats everything inc mum and dad ( honestly not a gruesome as it sounds, ,,,,, ok it is a lil ) Very funny and suitable for wee ones, and big ones alike, especially boys. young and old. The book flows in rhymes making it simple, fun and easy to express emotion as you read and expect the one your reading it to, to go eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh disgusting. less
