This is a review for the children’s book The Magic of a Small Town Christmas which I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
I’ve always had a rule where I will not watch Christmas Shows or read books about Christmas until Thanksgiving Eve but sometimes the Lord has other plans for us. Which is what happened this week when I received information for the children’s Christmas book The Magic of a Small Town Christmas.
I had thought of putting the book aside to add to the books we read each day before Christmas but the more Charlie and I looked at the cover the more I wanted to read the book. I opened it up last night and read the flap and learned more about the Author Magen Alexander and that she is the host of a Christmas Show which the book was based on.
I knew I not only wanted to sit down and read the book but look up the show. Which I did and have Bookmarked to watch during Christmas. I did go ahead and read the book and as I was Charlie came and sat down beside me and began to read to himself.
As we finished the book Charlie let me know he wanted to share the book not only with his dad David but his Grandmother Sherry so she could purchase a copy to watch with her great grand-children. Charlie even wants to share the show with her which he thinks she will like a lot.
Once we finished reading the book I went to put it in the Christmas Tote but Charlie said not to that he wanted to put it in our Homeschool Library as there were projects in the book that he wants to do at home with me. Which I can’t wait to work on as these projects bring us closer together as a family.
From backing Cookies for any Holiday including Christmas to visiting a Tree Farm to cut down our own Christmas Tree which I’ve always wanted to do. Would you like to go with us? Once we get home we could make our own Gingerbread Villages just like they had in the Town Bakery inside the book.
