Picture Book Review: Merry Myrrh The Christmas Bat by Regan W.H. Macaulay

What do you get when you combine a bat, a squirrel, and a farmhouse family during Christmas? A sweet, seasonal story that is sure to become a Christmas classic. 

Myrrh is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Raft, who live in the brown barn next to the white farmhouse with its big bay window all decorated for Christmas. Myrrh wants to visit the farmhouse's Nativity scene like his parents have done year after year. When he sneaks off with the help of Sensa Squirrel, Myrrh finds himself in a spot of trouble and gets some unexpected help.

Merry Myrrh The Christmas Bat by Regan W. H. Macaulay, has been updated and published by Pandemonium Publishing House. This wonderful story that first caught my attention in 2018, is even more delightful than I remember.

Macaulay teamed up with artist Alex Zgud again to bring Myrrh's story to life. The glorious colors that fill this book's pages alongside Macaulay's descriptive text paint the perfect Christmas story for this animal family settled on this farming family's land. I fell in love all over again.

If you only buy one new Christmas book for your youngster this year, make it Merry Myrrh The Christmas Bat.

This review first appeared at The Children's and Teens' Book Connection. I received a free digital copy of this book from the author. This review contains my honest opinions, which I have not been compensated for in any way.
