***My Personal Review***
This is a fun and whimsical picture book yet it also displays the importance of family and togetherness at the holidays. I love the way the author uses the senses to make the reader reminisce about their own favorite traditions and foods :) Billy remembers everything he loves about Christmas and what his grandma would make for dinner, desserts and all the fun they would have making it all. The illustrations are kind of like an anime type design, I really like the bold bright colors bringing out all the majesty and magic of the holidays. Billy is really excited, until he gets his first few gifts, and he is ... well ... not too thrilled with them. He tries to pretend but finds it hard. But when he reaches into the fridge to try to grab his grandmothers chocolate pecan pie, he finds himself on a snowy playground with monsters! They invite him back to their home for their family Christmas, where he sees them being thankful for every little thing they have such as a simple bowl of soup, small gifts like he received and wonders how they can be happy with them. When he finally is transported back to his own family Christmas, will he learn to be thankful for the little things and realize that his family is more important? Very awesome book, I really enjoyed reading it and I think it's a great book for young kids who are spoiled or don't appreciate what they have - teaches a great lesson :) The illustrations are amazing, I think they reallyl told the story through the pictures. Definitely 5 stars!
