Emma Kragen

I stumbled across this book in a used bookstore and was fascinated by it. It was so interesting to read because it was by a young child, Emma Kragen, who was only 7 years old. While the books language and plot was not that complex, I would still recommend this book to children. The illustrations were cute and the topic was interesting to young children. This book mixed real photographs of dogs with cute Christmas illustrations. I loved seeing my favorite dog brands, like Golden Retrievers and huskies, with adorable holiday illustrations. Seeing realistic huskies on illustrated sleds wearing scarves and shoes was so cute. I also thought the idea of this story was great for young children. It was very simple and just changed the lyrics to the “12 Days of Christmas” song. It filled in different dog breeds on each page and stayed very simple. I just think it is a great concept for children to see a book written by somebody their age. It just changed some words to the song but was original and adorable and would be interesting for students to read. There was not really a main idea or purpose to this book other than the fact that young children can do anything they set their mind too. This was a very cute book that I would suggest for leisure reading of young students around the holidays.… (altro)
