The Gingerbread House - Laura Gia West - ★★

AUTHOR: Laura Gia West
GENRE: Children's Picture Book
PUBLICATION DATE: June 24, 2020
RATING: 2 stars.
A decently cute Christmas book for really young children.
The idea is good but the implementation is shoddy. I tried my best to see it as the right book to create Christmas Spirit in my heart. But honestly, all it created in me was irritation at the Gingerbread man's character.
Also, the line "you can eat me now" was too much!
I didn't care much for the rhymes too because they seemed forced in some instances. The natural rhythmic flow that is necessary in children's rhymes is missing.
There's no moral in the book, just in case you were looking for one.
The illustrations are average. They could have been much better on some pages where they just seemed like random copy-pasted images thrown on a page.
So yes, mainly for 2-4 year olds.
I received an advance review copy of the book for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
