5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Kids, June 25, 2003

My mother bought this book for my son, to start a new family tradition. Every Christmas, my mother would read me the Poky Little Puppy and now she reads this book to her Grandson.

It is cute to see what trouble the puppies and The Poky Little Puppy get into while trying to have a good Christmas. I would really recommend getting this book, plus the other Poky Little puppy book, a great collection to have.

This review is from: The Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)

The Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas is a Little Golden Book that teaches a great big lesson about the spirit of Christmas and selfless acts!

It's wonderfully written, adorably illustrated and any child (or adult) who reads it will come away with a wonderful, warm feeling. This is, indeed, a very special book to share with the children in your life.

I grew up with a book by this title, and decided to buy it for my daughter. Although the title is the same, this is not the same book. The book I had when I was a kid was about puppies that jumped the fence and went into town despite their mother telling them not to. They eventually decide to celebrate Christmas, and write a letter to Santa asking for presents. Of course, they are reminded that Santa only visits good little puppies who mind their mother. So they alter their letter to be less selfish.
This is a completely different story about a skunk and a boot. It's still a good story, but not the one I was looking for. If you're like me and you're looking for the old version, you'll need to find it used.
