What a delightful, creative Christmas book!
Dumpy Saves Christmas should be nominated for the Caldecott metal for outstanding illustrated juvenile books. I am pleased that Julie Andrews, her daughter, and her ex-husband are able to collaborate in writing such an imaginative series of Dumpy the Dump truck books. This book has an unusual twist from the traditional Santa Claus and reindeer story. This book is an...

A reason to turn on the TV
The writing is pallid. The illustrations are numbingly bad. This is an excellent example of what a children's book should not be -condescending, smarmy, hollow and hokey. If it weren't for Julie Andrews Edwards' name on the cover, this book would be a hard sell at a vanity press. Julie, Julie, Julie! This regrettable foray is to children's literature what your topless...

This review is from: Dumpy Saves Christmas (Hardcover)
Dumpy Saves Christmas should be nominated for the Caldecott metal for outstanding illustrated juvenile books. I am pleased that Julie Andrews, her daughter, and her ex-husband are able to collaborate in writing such an imaginative series of Dumpy the Dump truck books. This book has an unusual twist from the traditional Santa Claus and reindeer story. This book is an excellent addition to any child's Christmas library. I am buying several copies of this book for Christmas gifts as well as keeping a copy for myself.

Dumpy Saves Christmas is another wonderful addition for any little Dumpy fan. All the Dumpy stories are amazing and wonderfully written. My pre-schooler loves them all!

Dumpy the dumptruck lives on a farm with a family. His particular favorite family member is Charlie, a little boy. It's Christmas Eve, and Charlie can't get to sleep. He hears a noise and realizes Santa Claus has crashed his sleigh. Christmas will be ruined if Santa can't deliver the toys to the children of the world, so volunteers get Dumpy to help. It's now up to Dumpy to save Christmas for everyone.This is a very creative book, and a must read this Christmas.

If it weren't for Julie Andrews Edwards' name on the cover, this book would be a hard sell at a vanity press. Julie, Julie, Julie! This regrettable foray is to children's literature what your topless scene in "Victor, Victoria!" was to drama. Only the topless scene made more sense. Please, spare the lives of future trees and brain cells. Let Dumpy be pulped. (...) |
