Kids have a tendency to ask for a wide variety of things this time of year. not all of them are always feasible. Some kids that want pets, have allergies and simply can't have them. Other's would like to see people they love healthy again, or a lot of other things.
This particular read is a soft read, aimed at young readers.
All I got for Christmas
Rebecca Shelley
109 pages
This isn't necessarily a book about toys. It's more a book about a group of kids working together to make sure everyone at their school has a chance to see Santa. Basic story is that one of the boys hears their principal say that Santa won't be able to come to the school Christmas party because of the budget. You don't have to worry about disillusioning young ones though, because the author covers her bases.
Very appropriate for grade school readers, it gives short descriptions about winter holidays that different cultures celebrate. This book also examines the idea of consequences, and how thinking outside the box can help a situation.
I am honestly going to say, that if you're having trouble deciding on a book series for a young reader that is a boy, that this is a series they may enjoy. The Smartboys Club books have the same characters as this one (on the most part), and there's no need to worry about whether it might be a bad influence or not, the club is co-ed. Honestly, this is a nice introduction to the collection. My copy was found on the Barnes and Noble Nook Book website, but it's also available on Smashword. (It was free)
