Reviews

Even though I read this last year, I enjoyed reading it again this year and remembering all the things I love about Georgia! :)

This book is interesting, but it's less "cute Christmas story" and more "tourist's guide to Georgia for children." Definitely worth reading to your kid, but not the right book if you're looking for some holiday cheer.

[Elizabeth]

Cute, but 1) too many possums, 2) "chili dog" is misspelled, and 3) no mention of The Big Chicken.

[Melissa Lee]

So cute!

A great list of sites for people to see anytime of year, not just Christmas!
