We loved this book and the flow of the story was great.

I loved the characters and how they worked together. My daughter loves horses it was great to see how Rosie saved the day, and Christmas!
We have recently moved house and live opposite a riding stable and it is lovely that we can hear them enjoying themselves from our garden.

The illustrations in the book were great and they brought the story to life - we really loved Rosie's Cowboy Christmas!

The story was well written and it was easy to read and understand and it is definitely a story we will read again nearer Christmas.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

Such a fun and cozy read for the holidays 🤠🎄

I read this with my 4 and 8-year-old granddaughters, and they both absolutely loved it. The story has that sweet, festive feel with just enough adventure to keep them engaged the whole time.

The illustrations really stood out—bright, detailed, and full of personality. The girls kept pointing things out on each page, which made it even more interactive and fun to read together.

Overall, this was a hit for both ages and one we’d definitely read again during the Christmas season. A really cute addition to your holiday book stack.

A heartwarming story of friendship and family at Christmastime in Texas.

Oakley and Rosie are excited for all the fun things they will do at Christmas, until anowstorm comes and takes the power with it. Rosie helps Oakley make the most out of a change of plans.

Heartwarming and cute, I loved the ranch setting and the charming and cozy illustrations. Simple and heartwarming. I loved how Rosie worked to cheer Oakley up and make her Christmas one to remember.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A white Christmas in Texas, how magically delightful! Oakley is so excited, until she realizes how many holiday plans are derailed by the deep snow. The shipment of Christmas trees won’t make it through, power is out, roads are impossible . . . and so begins the real magic, working together to create a different celebration, simpler, cozier, filled with love, and Rosie the Clydesdale helps to make it so. I can hardly wait to read this one to the little ones.

Rosie's Cowboy Christmas is a heartwarming festive picture book that captures the true spirit of Christmas through kindness, resilience, and family. Rosie the Clydesdale and her cowgirl friend Oakley are instantly lovable characters, and their determination to make the best of unexpected circumstances delivers a gentle but meaningful message for young readers.

The ranch setting gives the story a cosy, nostalgic feel, while the winter blizzard adds just enough excitement to keep children engaged. Rather than focusing on perfect holiday plans, the story reminds readers that the best Christmas memories are often made by working together and appreciating the people and animals around us.

The illustrations beautifully complement the story, bringing the ranch and its charming cast of characters to life. The inclusion of real-life inspiration from Paige Murray's own ranch and the bonus salt dough ornament recipe adds an extra layer of warmth, making this a wonderful book to share as part of a family Christmas tradition.

Perfect for children aged 4–8, this is a delightful festive read filled with friendship, perseverance, and holiday cheer that will leave readers with a smile and a reminder of what truly makes Christmas special.

Such a wonderful series. Vibrant, cozy illustrations. Rosie, the Clydesdale and Oakley, the girl always have amazing adventures. In this story, a power outage causes Christmas to be much different than anyone envisioned. Highly recommend.

I was blessed with an ARC. Thank you, NetGalley. The opinions expressed are my own and unbiased.

Oakley and Rosie are back with a classic Christmas story. This duo is becoming my granddaughter's favorite. The lessons inside the pages are entertaining and heartwarming. A story to be read again and again!
