Cocoa is cranky - can you help him get into the Christmas spirit? I LOVE this book! As children read the book, they are asked to do tasks such as "can you bark Jingle Bells?", so this become an interactive book, too. And the illustrations are adorable!! Not only I'm I going to buy this for our library, but also for my own collection.

Cocoa’s Cranky Christmas was incredibly cute. The story was uplifting and relatable. Sometimes people feel cranky even though they are surrounded by Christmas and holiday joy. The illustrations were amazing but the great thing about Cocoa’s Cranky Christmas was how the book encourages the reader to move about and act like they are in the story and truly trying to cheer Cocoa up! My mother is a preschool teacher and I will absolutely be sharing this book with her.

This book is so fun!! We loved it! Cocoa is a cranky puppy so each page there’s something to do to try to make him not so cranky! We will definitely be reading this repeatedly and giving it as gifts!

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

OMG, this book is the cutest!! I loved how bright and colorful it is. The interactive aspect is fun. Kids just love stories like that. Go out and get this!

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Children’s for kindly providing me with a digital copy of this book for review.
I read this to my 2 children and they chortled throughout. They adored grumpy Cocoa and asked me to read it through 3 times straight. If that isn’t an endorsement then I don’t know what is! Thumbs up from us. Would make a lovely Christmas gift I think.

Fun and interactive book! Kids will definitely love this book and cheering up cocoa. Will make a great gift for kids.

An interactive book for children as they try and cheer up Cocoa! It will get your kids moving and giggling as they bark out Jingle Bells and do several other fun activities.

Cocoa is cranky & what can the reader do to help? A lot! This interactive book is charming and engaging! Kids are encouraged to do different activities to get Cocoa to stop being cranky. The kids loved reading this one and I highly recommend it.

My son, 4, and I read this one last night and he loved it. Any book with an interactive method within the story really keeps him intrigued. Cocoa was such a fun character, especially being so cranky. The art style was so cute and the red pages with white type was a fun addition. This is definitely one we will purchase and read for Christmas's to come!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc of this book. My opinions are my own

Cocoa's Cranky Christmas is a wonderful short Christmas adventure for the entire family that will have everyone up on their feet, dancing around and making some Christmas cheer!

Though Cocoa's Cranky Christmas is a very short read (even by bedtime story standards) it is a fun and engaging story about spreading Christmas cheer and should not be passed up. The pictures about Cocoa's adventure in pursuit of Christmas joy are fun and colorful and the story's interactivity is unique! Sure to be a Christmas favorite for little ones!

We loved this book! The kids enjoyed doing the activity on each page and choosing things for the dog to pick. Thanks for the book. We will recommend to friends for sure.

A fun and interactive children's book that is wonderful for Christmas. My only dislike is that it says holidays instead of Christmas.

I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

A truly darling low-fi interactive Christmas book for young ones.

The charmingly rendered, grumpy protagonist, a pug-like dog named Cocoa, will delight young and old alike with his curmudgeonly attitude and facial expressions, and kids are sure to love the participatory element of the story that lets the reader help Cocoa get in the Christmas spirit.

The art is lovely and should appeal to youngsters and adult readers alike. Cocoa is a festive and terrific holiday read.

A fun interactive book perfect for the holidays!!! Try and cheer up a cranky dog with this fun book! This would make a great read for kids! Interactive and holiday themed, perfect for any elf this christmas!

This would be an excellent book for adults to read with their little ones. The actions will be fun for the kids and they will look forward to Cocoa's reactions. A perfect book to fill a stocking!

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the DRC.

This book was received as an ARC from Thomas Nelson: CHILDREN'S in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book was adorable to the max. Our children love those interactive board books and the illustrations are so eye-catchy and brilliantly done that they will definitely gravitate towards this book. Everyone will absolutely fall in love with Cocoa and relate to him well especially if they have a dog that is similar to Cocoa with his behavior and views on the Holidays. Even though this book is about a grumpy dog, this book will bring some holiday cheer to any household. I definitely will not only recommend this to our patrons but I just might get this book for my niece and nephew and I know they will love it.

We will consider adding this title to our Holiday Picture Book collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
