Product Description
This is a story about a lump of coal who can think, talk, and move itself around. Is there a more charming holiday tale to behold? Probably, but Lemony Snicket has not written one.

 Miracles are like Pimples. December 31, 2008
Milly Marie (Dallas, TX)
Lemony Snickets brings another story just for the holidays. Written in almost the same fashion as 'Unfortunate Events' this story teaches us that even if a lump of coal can find a miracle, you can too!
Brett Helquist returns with Snickets and beautifully illustrates the story in a classic holiday creation.
I am more than happy to add this to my Snickets collection as well as my holiday collection!
Recommended for ages 4 and up!

This is a book about miracles and perspective. 'You don't always get what you want, but you get what you need,' a wise songwriter once wrote. This book is the perfect gift for anyone who feels that things NEVER turn out right for them. Like me. I bought this book for myself because I love Lemony Snicket. I've already read it several times and I laugh in exactly the same spots every time. I had a horrible day today -- NOTHING went right -- and I came home and read this book. Perspective changed. Mood improved. Try it. You'll love it.

I used to teach 5th grade and first read this to my class when it came out as a newspaper feature. I purchased 4 copies this season to share with young family members.

I love this book - it's very clever and very funny, yet still heartwarming with a very positive message. I thought the Lemony Snicket books were dark, and while this has a little darkness in it, it's much more optimistic then I expected. This isn't for very young children (it's bit verbose for my 3 year old), but it's now my 5 year old's favorite. Good plot twists and great language for a kids book.

I agree with Boni Ashburn in her review of this hysterical book.......I picked it up at a display in our local Borders and by the end of the book I was in stitches. I used my coupon and bought the book that instant. Our family appreciates this type of off the wall humor and kooky illustrations. I must say I have not read the 'Latke' book, nor have I enjoyed the Lemony Snicket 'Unfortunate' series, but this book will be a favored holiday treat for many years to come.
