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.
