Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Publishing a book that appeals to young fans of both Christmas and Nick Jr.'s Bob the Builder might seem like a terribly risky proposition. But if your child just happens to fall into that demographic, here's the book for you.

Based on an actual episode of the hugely popular show, Bob's White Christmas brings together a bunch of the regulars for some low-key holiday fun: Scoop gives Bob a hand clearing a path to Farmer Pickles's place ("Can we plow it?" "Yes, we can!"), all the machines pitch in to decorate a tree ("Can we trim it?" "Yes, we can!"), and Spud the scarecrow gets quite a scare from a supposed "snow monster" ("Whee! Whoo-hoo! Look out!").

Just as on the show (a hit in 100 countries and counting), Bob and his likeable pals work together, solve problems, and have all sorts of fun. And kids should especially like a chance to stare at all the TV stills. Now what's Bob up to in that fake white beard anyway? (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

3.0 out of 5 stars Good first try for a BTB Christmas book., December 20, 2001

This review is from: Bob's White Christmas (Bob the Builder) (Hardcover)

Bob, Wendy, and the entire crew are present for this Christmas adventure. The story is complete with snow, Christmas tree, gifts, and good will. They even use the increasingly politically incorrect term "Christmas" (I'm all for Christmas, Jesus is the reason for the season). A quick and fun read with a minimal amount of words, high quality photographs, and made of attractive and sturdy materials.
