My Thoughts:
This is just a simple board book but it's a really cute one! The pictures are engaging and the sparkles really catch your eye. The entire pages are covered in illustrations, so no white, which I like. It's a quick read (duh, it's a board book) but it's a very cute story. It's one I enjoy reading and one my kids enjoy listening to and looking at on their own.
For what it is, a simple board book, I give it 4/5 moons.

Description:
Hear the music of those sleigh bells jingling? Nicola Smee’s seasonal favorite is now in board!
The beloved characters from Smee’s Clip-Clop are off on a wild and wintry ride. Mr. Horse has invited all the barnyard animals into his sleigh, and Cat, Dog, Pig, and Duck couldn’t be more excited. Soon, they’re holding on tight and dashing through the snow with bells jingle-jingling all the way. Over the fields they fly—but when they reach the hill, everyone wants to slide down…even Mr. Horse, of course. Is there room for them all?
Like the happy Mr. Horse, toddlers will think “THAT WAS SO COOL!”
My Thoughts:
This too, is just a simple board book but it's a fun story that gets my kids in giggles. I think there's a bit too much white, and not enough color, but they are in the snow so maybe I should just ignore that? I don't know, but I can say the the picture's don't capture my attention quite as much as I would like. But my kids seem to like it and they are the ones that matter!
The story is cute, and like I said, it gets my kids in giggles. I felt a bit like it was choppy. Or something. Just not the funnest book to read. But it's fast and the kids like it okay, so that's what's important!
I give this one 3/5 moons.
