The Longest Christmas List Ever [Hardcover]

Gregg Spiradellis (Author), Evan Spiradellis (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Little Trevor is determined to not leave ANYTHING off his Christmas list so he carries it with him everywhere he goes...for an entire year.

 

Trevor thinks of eveything he could possibly want:

Binocular glasses with night-vision mode!
A rip-roaring go cart to tear down the road!
A remote-controlled plane with a camera inside!
An invisible robot that’s easy to hide!

But the one thing he does forget is the true meaning of Christmas. Trevor's list becomes so huge that it spills out of his house, down the street, through town and all the way to the post office...which happens to be closed for Christmas by the time Trevor is finally ready to send his list!

 

Luckily Santa, with a little help from Trevor's parents, knows just what to get him: a fluffy brown puppy and the gift of friendship.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO CUTE!!!, November 29, 2007

My kids love this book- we've only gotten it a couple weeks ago and so far they've requested it every night for their bedtime story. The illustrations are superior compared to most of the stuff out there these days. And good lesson too, about finding what we truely want in our hearts vs. being greedy and trying to own everything in the world. We're very pleased with the book and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put this fun new children's book on your Christmas list!, November 26, 2007

This review is from: The Longest Christmas List Ever (Hardcover)

Because of some 'connections', I got to read an early copy of this book and I can honestly say that I think it's fantastic -- it is a fun approach to an age-old tale about the joy of dreaming about gifts (I still remember pining over the Atari 2600 that actually did materialize!), making long lists for Santa, and waiting for dreams to come true. Your child (or favorite giftee) may grimace at the arrival of a book, but they'll enjoy this one repeatedly -- I think it'll become a holiday tradition!
