This is a fun book that children will enjoy for years to come. It is a cute holiday story about Chipper the Fox who wants to spread cheer to all his friends with success. This is a quick and easy rhyming book that is easy to read for young children.

I would like to thank the author and iRead Book Tours for the review copy in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ( )

Chipper the fox tries so hard to do kind favors for his friends, but his attempts always go awry until finally they join together to successfully make their final friend merry. A cute little tale. ( )

'Tip toe, tip toe, crackle, crunch! This sneaky fox is swift.'

These words explain how Chipper the Fox is hoping to give his friends in Arctic Land some joy and happiness by surprising them with gifts. Instead, he is met with problems and feels like he has failed. Author Kimber Fox Morgan and illustrator Kim Sponaugle have created Chipper Makes Merry, a sweet, happy story that is very appealing to young children. The rhyming text is fun to read and the bright, colorful illustrations are the perfect touch. There is snow in almost every scene, the forest animals are adorable, and what child wouldn't enjoy a cute fox wearing a Christmas-green scarf?

Best of all, this is a teaching story! Chipper knows that his friends have had a hard year and he wants to cheer them up by giving them gifts. His thoughtful actions show children that thinking of others and being kind is a wonderful way to act. Happiness, kindness, and giving...aren't all of these perfect examples of the true holiday spirit?

Chipper Makes Merry is the perfect holiday book to read with your children, and older children will enjoy reading it by themselves. I recommend it for both home and school libraries.

I received a copy of this book from the author via iRead Book Tours. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts. ( )

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

It is a cold winter in Artic Land, the howling wind brings its freezing cold breeze around the homes of the forest animals, and the snow makes it hard for them to find food to eat. Poor Gus and Scout are having such a hard time that Chipper the Fox decides to Make them Merry to help them out. But poor Fox seems to mess up everything. Then he has an idea, and he wants the help of his friends Gus and Scout. And you need to read the book to find out what this big surprise is!

To say I love book doesn’t do justice to it. Chipper Makes Merry is an adorable children’s book that teaches children the importance of helping others in need. And what a clever idea to use a fox to teach such a valuable lesson. Kimber Fox Morgan does an amazing job writing this special book. The words are fun and easy to read for the older child. And the illustrations by Kim Sponaugle are so very adorable your children will love looking at the pictures. Each page is filled with winter, snow covered forest ground and I love the way Morgan makes some of the words so much fun. Children will not only learn the valuable lesson of helping others, they have the beautiful illustrations to view any time they want. Kimber Fox Morgan and Kim Sponaugle work so well together, I hope to review more books by these two in the near future.This special book is a must to read to children during the cold winter days. I think Chipper Makes Merry is a must for daycare, kindergarten and young elementary classrooms, as well as elementary school libraries. I would love to see a copy of this book in any Doctor or Dentist office. Wouldn’t that be neat?

Chipper Makes Merry is a charming book. It is suitable for the winter season. The story seems to be about a young fox that wants to help his friends be happy. He wants to cheer them up with small surprises. Will Chipper be successful, or will he despair at his mistakes.

The pictures are well done. I love the way Chipper is determined. But will he be successful? Will he have to help his friends out even when they're a few mess-ups along the way. Will Chipper get these two friends to help out and maybe cheer up Moose?

This book deals with kindness and determination. Children will want to read this book year-round. However, it remains set during the cold winter season. Chipper's plan does ruin, or will he find a way to be successful in making things, Merry.

Children will want to cheer on this little friendly fox. They will laugh and encourage their little furry friend with his little surprises when he tries and leaves them for this friend. Will it work? Children will enjoy the fun of this book. This phase is said repeatedly throughout the book "Tip Toe, Tip Toe, Crackle, Crunch!" I wonder how it all ends up for Chipper and his furry friends? ( )
