There’s alot going on in this video; I’m wearing a bathrobe, I reveal my blog branded mug, and my husband interrupts my recording. But the most important thing of note is that this is the first short story that is holiday themed-yay! And I really enjoyed it. There are major spoiler alerts in this review, be forewarned.
I’ve got a bunch of kids books that are waiting for review, so here’s a random assortment of ones I haven’t gotten to for awhile, but my children have been reading and enjoying for more than a few months. When this book was promoted as a mystery for kids, I was excited. “Finally-a picture book…

Awesome review! How did you not dive into that piece of chocolate though? 😁
I dive into it as soon as the camera is turned off :)
Oh my gosh this is such a fun idea!! I’m going to have to go back and catch up on all these advent videos I’ve missed. :)
Yah, it’s a ton of work, but only for the month of December lol
Aaron you missed your opportunity to photo bomb! So not like you. Great review, Anne. 👍🏼
Hahah true!
It *does* look like Christmas with your housecoat on! And your husband just standing there cracked me up. Exactly what mine would do. :)
