Cute Story
My toddler really likes this one. It has melodic text and the illustrations are great. I don't mind reading it to her over and over because I really like it too. Can't wait to get some more Taxi Dog books.

Two boys' review: Sequelitis dilutes this franchise to mediocrity
Sequelitis often dilutes a franchise to mediocrity. So is the case with A Taxi Dog Christmas, the fourth book in the series, following The Adventures of Taxi Dog, Maxi the Hero and Maxi the Star. This Christmas adventure is a clichéd mess. Santa crashes his sleigh and turns Jim and Maxi to -- ready for the big surprise ending?? -- substitute their taxi...

This review is from: A Taxi Dog Christmas (Hardcover)
Sequelitis often dilutes a franchise to mediocrity. So is the case with A Taxi Dog Christmas, the fourth book in the series, following The Adventures of Taxi Dog, Maxi the Hero and Maxi the Star.This Christmas adventure is a clichéd mess. Santa crashes his sleigh and turns Jim and Maxi to -- ready for the big surprise ending?? -- substitute their taxi and save Christmas. The taxi is hooked up to Santa's team of flying reindeer at the end of the book. Too bad that wasn't the start of the story because there's some interesting directions you could take from there. Only the most fervent Taxi Dog fans will enjoy this book. I recommend everyone else try one of these Christmas stories instead: Great Joy by Kate DiCamillo, the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Tale Of Despereaux; Santa Claus the World's Number One Toy Expert by Marla Frazee; Christmas Magic by Sue Stainton; and The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore and illustrated by Douglas W. Gorsline. |
