This sounds like such a cute book! I sad that the font is too small for a story time at the library. I wish that it had a definite audience though. :D

An enjoyable children's book about a kitten and a man in the Alaskan frontier. My children enjoyed this one. Good review.

I suppose Mike is Santa. I attempted to read the book from my phone and ended up admiring the pretty pictures and squinting at the wee words. I'll have to reread from my laptop to see better.

Thanks, MarisaRose, for a cool review! Thanks, BOTD, for the free sleigh ride with Mike and Blue in magical Alaska!

Exept the small font this was a great book for children.It would be considered as a happy book that reflects the festive part of this time of the year and it would also be a thoughtful gift for christmas

Great review! Christmas time is my favorite time of the year and so I enjoyed the story of Blue and Mike. I agree with you that Mike might be hard to relate to from a young readers point of view.

This sounds like a beautiful story. Perhaps better for adult and child to read together rather than child tackle it alone.

That's such a shame about the font size, normally it's the illustrations which let a book down, which is definitely not the case here. Great review

A children's book about a fluffy white kitten named Blue and Santa... seems like just the thing to read during this time of year. I don't know how much the font will bother me until I read the sample though. The cover is cute! Great review!

Thanks for the review. It is a shame that the font was so small. With the younger children, it would definitely be better for them to follow along with bigger fonts. Hopefully there will be better editing and updates to the book online.

This book looks and sounds like a perfect Christmas story, but the font is definitely a downside for me as well. Thank you for the insightful review.

It was a really great story. Stories about animals and children warm my heart. The font was indeed too small. I had a hard time reading it, Hopefully, they can change that.
