Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This fresh take on Christmas traditions follows Eve, the enchanting toy-making fairy, as she leaves her pumpkin patch and heads to the North Pole, where Santa’s elves have come down with a nasty case of Elfpox. Eve is delighted to lend a magical hand and help Santa do the elves’ work, but she is unsure of her abilities—she can only create small toys. After learning about the first Christmas and getting a few history lessons from the Mrs. Claus, Eve begins to understand that it’s not the size of the gift but rather the love that inspires the presents that counts. Once Eve gets hooked on the “Joy of Giving,” she infuses every pint-sized toy with feeling and is given the distinguished title of “Christmas Eve.” Providing adults with a new explanation of Christmas traditions, this story helps children understand that, sometimes, less is more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting!, September 20, 2006
By Mary E. Harding (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a lovely book with a profound message. And the rhyming text is great fun to read and will definitely hold a child's attention to the very end. The artwork is magical, as well - I know children will want to linger on each page. Perfect length for a bedtime story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, September 21, 2006
What a wonderful correlation of Santa and the Nativity! This book is a sweet story overall, and the illustrations are darling, but its real magic is that its messages really reflect the true meaning of Christmas, the spirit of giving and the gift of appreciation. Imagine if we all appreciated the things we receive! I know I appreciate this charmer and so do my grandkids!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fairy Eve, August 28, 2008
Another great Eve book. Like All Hallows Eve, this one teaches a wonderful lesson to children while still being very entertaining! Gave this to all my friends children for Christmas last year!
