I enjoyed reading your review! I think it's a bummer that the font is quite minute, but the illustrations are beautiful and well done!

It’s fascinating to me because I would want my children’s children to read and get to know how Santa and his little buddy saved Christmas. The cover is adorable, and at the right age.

I think it fit children well although going by the review, I didn't find anything striking that aroused my anxiety. All the same Congrats on being BOTD.

If Blue is pulling a dogsled driven by an older man as well as helping Santa make his Christmas rounds, I theorize that maybe Mike has a role standing in for Santa Claus. It could be an interesting read!

Another cute & fun book to add to the Christmas story collection. Just love that a kitty cat is featured as one of the main "characters"! Thanks for a fun review!

This book sounds great for children. It's a shame about the font size and proofreading issues, but I think that an older main protagonist will be a problem so long as there is Blue the cat. Thank you for the thorough and honest review!

A great, critical review by Marisa Rose. The reviewer has comprehensively covered all details. A story of Mike and blue kitty is beautiful. It will appeal the children a lot.

I typically enjoy cute little Christmas tales, but I can't tell if I'd want to read it based on your review. I guess I'll just have to read a sample myself.

You had me at "fluffy, white kitten." I've just downloaded the book and I'm enjoying myself immensely. Even if I have to SQUINT really hard, the illustrations just make your heart melt.

I was immediately drawn to this book because of the amazing cover, and the cat, of course. Since my sons are teens, I don't read many children's books, but I do still like to read some of the Christmas ones. I'm looking forward to reading this one. I love that some Alaskan culture is introduced. Seems like a nice addition the to book. Thanks for your insight!

This is a book I must find time to read. You see that animals can be our great companions. They can do things for us which hypocritical humans cannot. Let us all love animals!

From the review, I am sure this is an amazing children's book set in the Alaskan landscape. With improved editing it can be rated much highly.
