I love all the layers in this! I wasn't expecting an epistolary format. The letters add interest and provide an effective vehicle for educational elements while maintaining the child's voice and agency. Now I want a peek at the end papers!

Double feature! A cute rhyming book set on December 24th, that rhymes, but isn't The Night Before Christmas.
