Our Review

This festive adventure brings the Christmasaurus back on a mission to rescue children from the Naughty List, turning seasonal mischief into opportunities for growth. Through a series of interconnected stories, readers follow the magical dinosaur as he helps mischievous kids discover the error of their ways, blending holiday magic with meaningful lessons about behavior and consequences. The narrative captures the tension between being labeled naughty and the possibility of redemption, making the Christmas spirit feel both magical and attainable.

What sets this holiday story apart is its compassionate approach to childhood misbehavior, framing mistakes as teachable moments rather than permanent judgments. The Christmasaurus serves as a gentle guide rather than a punisher, showing young readers that everyone deserves a second chance during the holiday season. Fletcher's signature blend of whimsy and warmth creates a Christmas adventure that's less about punishment and more about understanding the true meaning of kindness. The result is a heartwarming seasonal tale that will resonate with children who've ever worried about making the Naughty List themselves.
