K-Gr 2–The Christmas spirit is spreading fast with this fantastical mash-up of Dahl’s most beloved characters. Readers will learn from the likes of Matilda, James, the BFG, Charlie, and more about how to cherish the holiday season, show kindness to others, and spend time with loved ones. Children are advised to be wary of starting any mischief, lest they end up on the naughty list like the Twits! Simple text is paired with Blake’s iconic illustrations from the original novels along with bright colors to emphasize the message on every page.
VERDICT This bright, cheery book is sure to fill every reader’s heart with the magic of Christmas and sweet nostalgia for Dahl’s famous stories.
