Robbie is in 2nd grade. He is shy and nervous. His classmates do the unexpected as Robbie searches for a Christmas story to present. I would recommend. Great character trait story! Beautiful illustrations!

I"m taking a reading course and the instructor read this book... everyone was in tears. This is a wonderful story!! I left class and found the nearest book store and bought it. I love children's books that teach valuable lessons. I plan to use it to teach my students how to identify the character, goal or problem and the solution.

I read this story to my grandchildren and they asked me to read it again and again. They loved it!!

I get a little misty eyed each time I read it. It's the story of a little 2nd-grade boy, Robbie, who can't seem to speak properly whenever he gets nervous or excited. All the kids in his class are anxious to see whose name will be drawn from the hat, to write a Christmas story to read in the school assembly...and of course, Robbie's name is drawn. He goes to all his friends to ask for help with his story, and it's just the sweetest thing I've read in a long time. It teaches kids how to help others and how to stick up for your friends. It teaches what Christmas is about.

Redheaded Robbie is chosen to write and read a Christmas story at the school assembly. But, Robbie did not want to be chosen because he his words get jumbled up when he is nervous, exited or upset. Robbie asks his friends for help with his story, but ends up giving them advice about what Christmas is all about. At the assembly, Robbie gets up to tell his story, but the words don't come out right. His friends, Big Eddie, Cool Katie, and Munching Max come to his aide and share stories of how Robbie helped them see what Christmas is really all about: Give before you take; Show kindness to someone new; Forgive a person who has hurt you. It's really a lovely story and the illustrations are beautiful.
