Ali Book&Seaglasshunter's Reviews > An Otis Christmas

One of the horses on Otis’ farm is having a foal and needs help in Christmas Eve night. A big snowstorm makes it impossible for the farmers to fetch the doctor, so Otis steps in. He shows bravery during his trek through the woods to find the doctor just in time. There’s definitely some religious undertones here but it’s still a secular Christmas story.

I personally don’t love Otis as much as it seems others do, I think the books tend to be a little wordy and border on preachy/too outright with the lesson or moral. I also don’t really love the illustration style. So overall this doesn’t rank with my favorite Christmas books, but it’s fine as a filler for December reading time.
