Veggie Tales Yuletide Ice Cube Fair Book Review

I was provided with a free copy of this book from Zondervan through Booklook Bloggers in exchange for my review. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own or my son's honest opinions.

I was recently given the opportunity to review Veggie Tales Yuletide Ice Cube Fair and both Davis and I were very excited as we love the Veggie Tales series. Here's the book description we read before choosing this book to review:

It’s that wonderful time of year again—the Yuletide Ice Cube Fair! It’s a time of festivity and fun as Veggies gather to eat snow cones, slurp slushies, and ice skate on the frozen pond. But the greatest part of all is the Ice Cube Carving Contest! The Veggies are trying to outdo each other in an effort to win the grand prize. But the smallest of all these ice entries is truly the most grand—a carving done by Junior Asparagus. It is a tiny stable with a shepherd on one knee. Young readers discover that it’s not what’s biggest or best that’s most important on Christmas—it’s Jesus.

This book begins and ends with scripture and in between is a fun story which includes all our favorite Veggie Tales characters and teaches the true meaning of Christmas. With so many Christmas stories focusing on Santa and presents, it is great to have one that really hones in on what is most important about this time of year while remaining enjoyable for kids to read.

This book is recommended for kids ages 4-8 but I would say it is a great read aloud for younger kids as well. Davis is in second grade and can easily read this book himself but he still loves having it read to him as well. I can see this book being a family favorite for years to come as Davis reads it aloud to his baby brother and Matt and I read it aloud to both of them during the holiday season.

I highly recommend adding this book to your holiday book collection and if you like this book, check Amazon for more great Veggie Tales titles!
