Sure to be a Christmas classic, Fairy Tale Christmas reminds all of us that there is good in everyone and that the magic of Christmas and the spirit of giving can soften any heart.
About:
Santa Claus has been kidnapped! Behind the plot are the fairy tale
villains: an evil queen, a wicked stepmother, a beanstalk giant,
and, of course, the mischievous Rumplestiltskin. They have a plan
that will erase the term “Happily Ever After” from our storybooks
forever.
To save the day, the fairy tale heroes must decide if they will
sacrifice their happiness so that Santa can bring Christmas to all
the children of the world. Christmas is almost here, and time is
running out.
Fairy Tale Christmas is a little bit Into the Woods and a little bit
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and features black-and-white
illustrations as well as a number of music icons that invite
readers to download the free music and listen to the songs sung
by the fairy tale characters.

My Review:
I thought the concept of this book was a lot of fun. I love diving into the story of “what happened after” which is a theme that I have loved to follow in “Once Upon a Time” and Shrek. This story dives into the concept of the villians wishing for a different outcome of always having to be the bad guy.
It is has clever language that includes humor for the younger reader or that the parent will get a kick out of with the play on words. I love reading with my children and my son was really excited to make predictions as to what would happen to Santa Claus throughout this book.
A beautiful message of the truth that there is good in all of us and what Christmas is all about. This is definitely a book you get cozy with through the cold nights of December.
