Very interesting concept and story. Makes me think twice about all my eccentric relatives now.

Kinda felt like there were parts of the story missing. :/

I found this very disappointing after adoring Auntie Claus and liking the second book. The story was dull and the message muddled.

Great fun! This is still my 12-year-old's favorite Christmas story.

Okay this may be cheating but I read this to finish my challenge. This was one of my favorite books as a kid and it still holds up now. It’s witty, beautifully illustrated and very heartwarming.

Confession; I got this book because it has Auntie in the title and I thought it would be fun to read an Auntie book to the children.

It's a cute book with colorful artwork. I enjoy the fashions depicted and the perspectives given. The story is about the Claus family who live in NYC in a nice building. The aunt is mysterious and she disappears from Halloween to Valentines day on 'Business'. Sophie decides to find out what is going on.

She find the aunt is the sister of Santa, so she helps out for the Christmas season - big surprise right. Anyway, Sophie learns lessons on the importance of giving. I think she's been inducted into the family business too.

We had fun with this and the niece enjoyed the fashions too. We discussed outfits we saw. She gave the story 4 stars. The kids did love that it was Auntie Claus and they said if it was me, there would be fairy wings on her. The nephew liked the elevator scene and the dogs carrying suitcases. He too gave it 4 stars. A great book for Aunts with their niblings (collective noun for nieces and nephews according to Google).
