"A delightful fantasy experience. It feels like a mix of Tolkien and Seuss; masters of fantasy, whimsy, and clever language use.
The story is fun with some delightful quirks as we go out. A message of either redemption or forgiveness (depending on how you see it), and ultimately guided by the desire that everyone deserves a merry Christmas.
I actually think a cartoon of this would also be really fun to watch."

"What an awesome book this is. I read it with my 7 year old son and he LOVED it, and so did I! The story is funny and exciting, the characters are so unique and the illustrations are amazing. Plus, there are farting ninjas! All together it makes for a wonderful and engaging read. The glossary of characters and terms are an added bonus that brings everything to life. This book will surely be a hit that you will want to read over and over again."

"I bought this book to read to my little boys. It basically combines everything they like (dragons, missions, farting ninjas, good guys, bad guys, etc.) into one fun Christmas adventure! Let the giggles begin. It won't belong before they have this book memorized and can pretend to read it themselves. It even has their favourite kind of ending for a battle between good and evil. Perfect book for Christmas or any time you want to go on a magical adventure!"

"Fantastic illustrations and a good read for my students! I love the Dr. Seuss-esque rhyming. Plus it mentioned farts and underwear, so of course the kids loved it!"

"The Spunky Caboodle is a great Christmas book for children of all ages... (okay... and adults too). The imaginative tale, word usage and fun story are well worth reading over and over again. The illustrations are incredible. Can't say enough good things about this new author and and this new illustrator."

"This a fantastic story full of fantasy, fun, and intrigue suited for a (very) young audience. The tale has rhythm and rhyme with artwork that follows the story incredibly well. A great story for Grandpa to read to the grandkids!"
