How Murray Saved Christmas

Having 5 yr. old twins, I've read probably in excess of 600 different children's books to them over the years, including all the classics....this book is without a doubt the funniest book I have ever read to them hands down, period, end of story!....no other book comes even close!....parents will laugh out loud and never tire of reading it....the illustrations are great for the youngest of kids....and as they get older and older they'll start to understand more and more of the text/humor. It's my favorite book to read to my girls at bedtime or anytime! Get it - you definitely won't regret it!

Ha ha

This book is funny. And you don't have to be a kid to enjoy it. But, alas, ultimately my 5 year old daughter loves this book. So much so, as cute as it is, it's starting to get annoying "Daddy, can you read 'How Murry Saved Christmas' again?". I swear I get that like 10 times a day now. Ugh. But, if I was to read a book over and over again, it would be this one. Also, my 13 year old daughter recommends the book "The Little Guide To Happiness". She says it's the best book for teens ever. I read it and it's a sweet little book. You can't go wrong with these.

funniest xmas book ever!

I have a large collection of xmas books and this one is probably the funniest one that I have. If you have kids they'll love this one.

Extraordinary and wonderful!

My son absolutely loves this book, and the only thing I love more than watching his face light up is the time we spend reading it together at bedtime. Every night, Christmas gets saved, my son falls asleep with a smile on his face, and our word is definitely a much better place.

ONE OF THE BEST CHRISTMAS STORIES WE'VE READ!

"How Murray Saved Christmas" is a truly hilarious kids' book (that adults will love, too.) We actually cracked up while we were reading it to our kids! The story is really entertaining and full of great jokes! That's not surprising, since the guy who wrote it used to write for The Simpsons. But the story of Murray is also very sweet and heartwarming - it's a great modern Christmas tale. We got a copy for our kids and will probably buy a bunch more to give as gifts.
