Join everyone’s favorite hippo, Fiona, and all her loveable animal friends for their first heartwarming Christmas adventure through the zoo to find the answer to the question, “What’s Christmas?” This fun and whimsical book is the perfect read-aloud for fans of Fiona (and hippos) everywhere!
A follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Fiona the Hippo picture book comes A Very Fiona Christmas!
It’s Fiona the hippo’s very first Christmas, and the zoo is sparkling with holiday spirit. When the adorable little hippo asks her friends, “What’s Christmas?” they set out to show her all the wonders and excitement of the season. With each new experience Fiona lets out a snort, wiggles her ears, and asks, “Is THIS Christmas?”
Amidst the snow, twinkling lights, mistletoe, and stockings, Fiona ends up meeting a new friend at the zoo who helps her discover the true meaning of the holiday: Love. Snuggle up with your little ones and join Fiona and her adorable animal friends for a heartwarming holiday romp through the zoo.
A Very Fiona Christmas:
- Stars the one and only Fiona the hippo, the worldwide internet sensation and star of the Cincinnati Zoo, who through her spunk and fighting spirit overcame all odds when she was born six weeks premature
- Features adorable art by Richard Cowdrey, illustrator of the New York Times bestseller Fiona the Hippo
- Is Fiona’s first Christmas adventure and the perfect holiday book for children and Fiona fans of any age
- Will delight readers with a shimmering foil and glitter cover
My thoughts: A VERY FIONA CHRISTMAS is an adorable children's book about a hippos first Christmas. Set in a zoo, there is a host of other animals that help Fiona discover what Christmas is.
This is NOT a Christian title so there is no mention of the true meaning of Christmas. The focus is on having fun in the snow, presents, Christmas trees, friends, and love. There is also no mention of Santa.
I love the artwork and the sparkly cover.
A mainstream children's book, this is suitable for anyone, of any denomination or belief. An excellent addition to any children's library.
I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

My thoughts: A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR SANTA is a whimsical story about tired, discouraged Santa worrying about being forgotten and looking for his gift. A sweet tale that will have your little one anxious to leave Santa a gift too!
There is no faith message, so suitable for the secular market.
Definitely a fun story that children will love this holiday season!
