I’m not going to score it down because I think it’s a great book as long as you know what you’re getting in for, but if you really can’t be doing with this idea of what Christmas is all about, [[Santa's Delight by Marisa Laycock]] might suit you more. Alternatively, the earlier [[I Love My Daddy by Giles Andreae and Emma Dodd]] and [[I Love My Mummy by Giles Andreae and Emma Dodd]] are in the same style but with different objects of affection. These reviews also suggest that for more seasoned readers, the child could be a boy or a girl. He/she looks just like my 30 year old, hospital manager friend Jon which is why I assumed boy, but I see their point.
