The short illustrated novel is about a Christmas/NYE tradition where a Jackalope is coming to houses and verifying goals and checklists. I think it is more appropriate for a younger audience than me. The interactive effects of this ebook are nice ! But kind of childish for me and really short. I didn't know about Jackalope so I was happy to learn about that creature. Otherwise, the book didn't stand out much and the short poem is simply a fun version of a classic poem. I found the jackalope reprensation and illustrations cute and amusing but some pages of the e-book were better than the others. Flipping throughout the pages were confusing too. In fact, when I flipped the first page, it gave a fast version of the entire book and then the 1st ''chapter''begins and I didn't know what was going on. Personnally, I would change the cover page because I don't think it reflects very well the true quality effect of the book.
Thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to read the book and I would like to thank him especially for taking my criticism very well :) Kind-hearted man!
