A review by calistareads
The Broken Ornament by Tony DiTerlizzi

4.0

I enjoy the sweet moment at the end of this book. At the beginning, the kid Jack wants the best Christmas ever and he thinks that means more stuff and more everything. He tries to make it better but something is always missing. As the title suggests, he breaks a precious ornament that has sentimental value to Jack’s mom. Jack has to figure out a way to save Christmas as his mom is so sad.

The artwork is full of energy and color and plenty of imagination. The kids loved this book and all the things that happen in the story. There’s a whole lot of Christmas stuff in this story. I love all the Nutcrackers. I could easily have an army of Nutcrackers. I have a friend who has 250 and I’m so jealous.

The Nephew gave this 5 stars and the niece gave this book 3 stars, she didn’t say more than that. It’s a 3 star book is what she offered.
