I usually love these but this didn't hit the mark. I went in with different expectations, hoping the Christmas spirit would summon me. Instead, I ended up reading about a mouse who broke all his bones a few months before Christmas after a tragic accident. It's a book for kids but it shouldn't have been so light hearted and so unrealistic despite the useful information about hospitals and skiing. Also Trap has to be my least favourite character, he's disrespectful, obnoxious, and a walking red flag. I wouldn't have forgiven someone who broke my entire body so easily either, I don't care as to how quickly mice heal. I'd have wanted vengeance, a hearing in court, a prison sentence, anything to get the rude brat out the way of innocent citizens and bystanders.
All Geronimo wanted to do was something lovely for his nephew until all his family and friends barged in, took advantage of his wealth and made fun of him when he got hurt. Insensitive af. The message was that laughter is the best medicine yet the jokes were pathetic and would have made me feel further pain rather than help me heal quicker. Somehow still always nostalgic despite of the story and its premise. I look forward to reading the actual Geronimo Christmas tales. This took me less than an hour to get through haha
