Mini Book Review: “The Toys’ Christmas” by Claire Clément

Description:

This cozy, cuddly Christmas story tells how Santa makes sure he leaves the perfect gift for each child—with a little help from their favorite toys!

It is Christmas Eve and Noah’s toy elephant, Fanfan, has gone missing! Little does he know that Fanfan has crept out of the house to join other soft toys on their annual Christmas journey: to see Santa Claus!

Just in case letters don’t reach Santa, toys all around the world make this trip so they can tell Santa what their child wants most of all. (After all, who knows a child better than their best-loved toy?)

Will Fanfan return in time for Christmas morning? And will Noah get the present that he so longs for?

Perfect to curl up with at bedtime, this sweet and magical tale is illustrated by Genevieve Godbout, the artist behind Apple Cake.

Review:

This book was an arc received via NetGalley for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This is a story that tells of a boy’s toy elephant that travels far to reach Santa. He and all the toys must report to Santa what their child wants for Christmas. It is a cute story and if you like that it is more of a modern take on how Santa gets his list for Christmas than definitely pick it up.

The illustrations by Genevieve Godbout are lovely. If you pick this book up for just that them, it is wonderful. Maybe even check out some of the other books illustrated by Godbout.

I personally would never read this to my small child because it would take away one of the traditions of writing Santa a letter to tell him what you want for Christmas and sending it to him. However, with times changing and traditions with it, this may be the perfect book for some families. The story itself is so endearing. The love of a child and it’s toys.
