Cute children's book - Kids Coping with Deployment

I don't have any kids, but I'm a teacher and so I look at children's books a lot, lol. While at the PX today I bought the cutest children's book that I thought some of you might like to get if you have young kids. Its called "The Soldiers' Night Before Christmas" Its super cute, its about deployed soldiers at Christmas, I love it!

What age range do you think that's good for?

I looked on the Random House (the publisher) website and it said the book is good for ages 2-5...but it could go a little younger or a little older than that, any kid that you would read the original Night Before Christmas to. I posted the story in the Entertainment forum if you want to go read it

I love the pictures in the book too.

That would be good for my kids....I know I saw this book sometime last year and just didn't get it. I have "The Night Before Thanksgiving" too....so it would be a great thing for the next few weeks. Thanks girl for the hint!
