It was cute. It would be a good Christmas book for a little girl. A Little Women Christmas is short and sweet. Perfect for a little girl who’s starting to read or learning to read.

While the story is perhaps best appreciated by fans of Little Women, this is a lovely Christmas book nonetheless. Ibatoulline's illustration are a fantastic match for the cozy, old-fashioned scenes, and Frederick's text manages to capture some of Alcott's style without being too wordy - this would make a lovely family read-aloud around Christmas-time.

A beautiful book - well written and gorgeous illustrations. I could see this becoming a Christmas favorite. The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because Vogel switched Beth to the youngest sister and she was illustrated with blonde ringlets - both traits that Amy has. It may seem a little petty and nit-picky on my part, but I'm very particular about my LW adaptations.
