COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Good Idea, Weird Execution submitted by Meginator on July 4, 2022, 8:58am I love the idea of this picture book, as an increasingly flustered baby owl tries to explain that they are not, in fact, Santa Claus despite their festive choice of headwear, but the story has an abrupt ending that interrupts the book’s flow and doesn’t actually provide much in the way of resolution. I think the author is going for a particular kind of irony that I do usually enjoy, but his inability to provide a natural resolution frustrated me as much as it does the owl. I did enjoy the premise and the illustrations, but the plot simply doesn’t work and ultimately the whole book falls apart as a result.
