1st complaint is the illustrator is not given cover credit. And that’s a shame as the illustrations are fantastic. The illustrations enlive in the words in the story and yet the illustrator gets no credit until the title page. 

This book sounds more like Jimmy Fallon. I see a shadow of him in my head as I read this. The cadence matches how he talks on his show and how he does interviews. The story rhymes and sometimes it’s a bit tongue twisty. Overall, this book works and I see why it’s brought out every holiday. It was quite enjoyable. I did think the ending was a little blah, but overall it works.
