This was a very magical experience for me it made me feel like I was in the story

I loved all the magical songs in the book because that just made it even more magical
I would recommend this to children who struggle to sleep and mostly sleep with music
I chose this rating because the story was excellent because when I heard that the Christmasaurus ate the hunter I was so happy and the way it was read and the performances the songs was truly magical
