Generic; while it mentions a few cities it isn't very themed as some of the other Christmas in City/State-X books out there are. Only one page of illustrations (matching the cover) is Texas specific at all. Not much effort in it and the story isn't very interesting even for 2-6 year olds.

Good world building but got a bit unwieldy towards the ending, which was rather anti climactic to me.

Did not finish. An exciting premise but just got too rambling through chapter 5/6. Wanted to push through but did not find this warranted more of my time.

The book keeps talking about a robot wanting to go work for a big inventory company because he wants to be an inventor. He gets to the door of the business and... the story stops. The reader is given no information about whether or not the robot succeeds or anything- it just stops. I had to check the page count & binding to make sure I wasn't missing pages.

A kid has personal belongings stolen and is upset by it (fair). The parents do nothing to help and they leave the playground without their son's toy. Instead of helping him they make their young child address the bully who stole it from him and use “please” to ask for his own belongings back.

This book (I think) was meant to address how to deal with anger in a useful way; however it instead teaches that parents/authority aren't going to help you and that if you are upset and let them know that you'll be punished.
