Dot's review of Pink Santa
This book really did "sleigh". The book was absolutely amazing!!
My favourite part was when the boy looked out the window and saw Pink Santa and said, "Santa you SLAYYYYYYY" and honestly I would do the same if I saw any coloured Santa, even Santa himself.
My fav characters were the little boy who called out to Santa and the burly old elf who said, "for the first time in ages I'm feeling myself. I'm loving this vibe."
This is definitely a 5 star book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from Dot aged 9
My thoughts
It's the night before Christmas and Santa is ready to go but first he needs to wash his suit. Rudolph throws it in the washing machine and it comes out PINK! Rudolph doesn't know what to do, Santa's red suit is iconic. Then Santa declares this year Christmas will be pink.
We loved the cute elves with their cheeky suggestions for Santa. There are lots of fun visuals and changes to spot, as Christmas turns from the iconic red & green to PINK.
Brightly coloured double page illustrated spreads catch the eye and there are lots of things happening in the background to keep little ones engaged.
Sometimes the best things come from a simple mistake and just maybe a new tradition will be born.
My rating 5 / 5 🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
