Christensen, David R.
Tivoli’s Christmas 91pgs. Prismatic
publishing, 2008. $12.00. Chapter Book. Content: G. Tivoli the teddy bear
thinks his owner Kristen no longer wants him because he is worn out and
tattered. He spends Christmas Eve on a
search to get repaired, thinking if he doesn't, Kristen will get a new bear for
Christmas and he will be forgotten. With
the help of an alley cat named Whiskers, Tivoli achieves his goal, but finds
out along the way that how you act is much more important than how you
look. In the end, Kristen never wanted
to get rid of him.
This book was well written and very descriptive. The author had a great vocabulary for the
target audience. There weren’t a lot of
pictures which I liked because it left it up to your own imagination. It has a
good moral which is easy to spot and teaches a good lesson. My main problem with it is it was a little
too repetitive. Whiskers the alley cat
saves the day one to many times, and it seems Tivoli runs into the same
problems multiple times. Pre-K. EL (K-3) Optional. Student Reviewed: JL
