I'm generally skeptical of Christmas books based on popular characters. It always feels like, after the author has had some success with a character, the publisher says: "why don't you write a Christmas story now!" They're always good sellers.
I adore Pete so I hoped this one wasn't too formulaic. I think it works fine, and the message of giving is right on. I don't love the song, though - it feels unfinished. The illustrations, as always, are delightful, with Pete driving around in a vw minibus pulled by reindeer.
Overall a decent addition to the Christmas book oeuvre.
