Jolly illustrations and solid rhymes in this hollyday tale of Sprinkle Theft and Redemption. Tired of The Grinch? Fly along with petty larcenist the Sprinkle Snatcher as he scoops up sprinkle from cookie baking familes. Find redemption as he returns the sprinkles and realizes Christmas is not about being greedy. ( )

Such a strange (and dated) book. Why on earth is the sprinkle snitcher some weird turkey/human hybrid?! ( )

I stumbled upon this book while reading a book blog. This is such a fun book to read. Quite a bit of the story is in rhyme. The illustrations are awesome. Looks like the illustrator did looks of work for Disney and the book shows off his illustrations.

The book is about all the children and parents in this village who fall asleep and when they awake, all the mothers are getting ready to bake their Christmas cookies. But while they were sleeping the Sprinkle snitcher stole all the sprinkles. One little boy named Nate decides it is up to him to track down this snitch and find all the sprinkles. Because after all, what kind of Christmas cookie is one without sprinkles?

I can't believe I had never read this book before. My five year old and I loved it and I will read it every year and hope to share it with other children while substitute teaching for the holidays. Young and old will enjoy this book. ( )

Best; best ever. I love this book well beyond good reason. Thank you, Purple House Press, for bringing this back into print! ( )

When my children were little, this was their most favorite book. The cover has been loved completely off, and every page has crayon scribbles. I've tried to find another copy in better condition, but it's been out of print for the better part of twenty years. Pity! It should come back! ( )
