LOVed this!

There are not enough books about the North Pole or the legend of Santa Claus in my opinion. This completely fed my desire for more of those books! This is a very heartfelt, profound, magical and entertaining read both for middle grade readers and adults. Cute illustrations every now and then to accompany a very creative plot and premise. I highly recommend picking this up to help make your Christmas even more magical.
