From Booklist
Ages 4-8. Jim and Maxi, the taxi-driving duo popularized in The Adventures of Taxi Dog (1990), Maxi, the Hero (1991), and Maxi, the Star (1993), awake to a snowy Christmas Eve. After trimming their tree and building a "snow dog" replica of Maxi, the two come to the rescue of six abandoned kittens, which they take to the taxi garage. "Each lucky tabbie went home with a cabbie" while one kitty joins Jim and Maxi as they shuttle last-minute shoppers around New York City. Suddenly, Santa, his reindeer, his load of toys, and remnants of his sled crash to the ground before them: "I lost flight control? When I left the North Pole," Santa said. "What on earth shall I do?" The solution--of course--hitch the reindeer to Jim and Maxi's taxi. Ayers' luminous oil paintings delight in the holiday sights and lights of New York City--Particularly when the skybound taxi leaves the glowing city below to continue Santa's route. Such fanciful touches as a jar of seasonal green and red dog biscuits atop the kitchen counter and a penguin perched on a city curb give punctuations of humor to an already winning holiday read. Ellen Mandel
From Publishers Weekly
Maxi, the ebullient canine star of The Adventures of Taxi Dog and Maxi, the Hero, bounds through this holiday title with characteristic cheer. He and his kind master Jim rescue a litter of abandoned kittens and, in the ultimate spirit of Christmas, give a lift to the jolly fat man himself when Santa's sleigh breaks down. The Barraccas' peppy verse stumbles in a few places, but manages to sustain the already established upbeat nature of Jim and Maxi's friendship. Ages 4-8.
