To All, I loved that this book at first because it represented a black family, with a Mom & Dad. My problem with it, is that they've changed the words to the poem, and even left out a major portion of the poem "Like leaves before the wild hurricane fly, when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky..." This was beautiful, poetic imagery. I regret that the reader/listener will not enjoy the full version, and that the words were changed and some don't really make sense. For instance, the reference to "Cherry", presumed to be her pet mouse. Worse of all, is that the story changes the charactors, and it's not the Father, who witnesses Santa, but the daughter. (Does this mistake the story for "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas?). I'm no prude, but the writer might have used a little more imagination. In retrospect, I had to go back and lower my rating from "Average", to "Below Average". I'm sure I could add more things that are wrong with this version. The graphics were too dark and not of a quality befitting an attempt of this magnitude. Better illustrations might have salvaged the story somewhat.
