What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A few scenes where the high-tech sleigh crashes or malfunctions, but no one is hurt.

Sensitive Topics

The book is entirely secular and whimsical. It deals with the concept of stress and the 'perfection' of Christmas, but in a very lighthearted, metaphorical way. There are no heavy topics here, just a humorous look at how technology can sometimes complicate our lives.
