★★★★★ Reviewed by Diana Lopez for Readers' Favorite
Even a small good deed can make a difference. ... Anu D. Misa emphasizes this teaching in Ella Says: Let's Have a Giving Christmas. The story concerns Ella, an adorable little girl. When she begins her Christmas holiday, she sees a poster that conveys upsetting news. Scruffy Fluffies Rescue, the animal shelter, is in crisis and if they don't get help soon the place will have to be closed. ... I liked the way that Anu D. Misa developed the story because it suggests a variety of ways that you can help an animal shelter. She even includes some practical advice at the end of the book. The text is simple and easy to understand, which is ideal for young readers. I liked the illustrations because their colorful images highlight the Christmas spirit, family collaboration, and good intentions. The characters are captivating. Ella and her family provide a great example to follow. They share good times and enjoy helping. ... Ella Says Let's Have a Giving Christmas is a charming story, ideal for children to learn about empathy and collaboration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such fun and generosity
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023
This is a special book. It's the heart of Christmas, the joy of children, the spirit of animals all in one. It's a gift in itself and brings attention to shelter animals who need so much help right now. The way the illustrations are incorporated into the story also stands out and adds to the magic. I'd read it again and again. And to boot, one of the dogs is a dachshund - always a pleasant surprise for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars An endearing story about the Christmas spirit of giving – it entertains and educates!

The media could not be loaded.
 We were thrilled to see the addition of a Christmas story to the Ella Says children's book series. This heartwarming, feel-good family Christmas book invites readers to think about the significance of giving, kindness, and helping others, particularly at Christmas time.

The story follows Ella's efforts to save the Scruffy Fluffies Animal Shelter from closing down. She enlists the help of her family, friends, and community to achieve this goal. You can't help but fall in love with all the characters in this book. And, sprinkled throughout the story, you will find some light humour, a little mystery, and the occasional twist and turn that keeps kids thoroughly engaged.

At the special fundraising event Ella and her family organize, Ella receives the best gift ever – the news that all their hard work has paid off. Ella is filled with so much joy as she recognizes the power of giving in making a positive difference in the world around her. 

This remarkable story about Ella's Christmas wish is accompanied by delightful illustrations. Each page truly sparkles with Christmas excitement! This is definitely a 5-star read that every child will love. I plan to buy a few copies as Christmas gifts and recommend it for any young child or classroom library.
