Customer Reviews

Joyful holiday reading!

My boys were 3.5 and 2.5 last year when I bought this book for them around the holiday season. It was easily their favorite Christmas book. They wanted me to read it over and over and over to them...and when I wasn't reading it, they were looking at the pictures and reading it themselves. This book went with us to every family holiday gathering so that the boys could share their love of it with other family members. I am looking forward to pulling it out this year to share with them all over again. The illustrations are wonderful. The story is fast and funny. This is a fantastic book! Buy it for any child in your life!

Motivating and Funny

Jerry Pallotta and David Biedrzycki have created a wonderfully motivating story about teamwork through the guise of a problem for Santa. Santa can't possibly deliver all the toys by himself. Each animal he tries has a different strength and weakness. The drawings in this picture book are outstanding. The hidden facts are wonderful (penquins may flap, but they can't learn to fly).There is wonderful alliteration and funny puns ("I gave the skunks a try. It was a smelly idea!) The kids I've read it to rolled in the aisle laughing at the picture of Santa's candy cane underwear! It's a great book for children of all ages!

WOW WHAT EYE CANDY!

THE JOY THE BOOK GAVE MY SONS AGES 9 TO 4YEARS! THEY ALMOST DIDN'T WANT TO BLINK THIS IS VERY EASY & SIMPLY & FAST TO READ. MY 5YEAR OLD READ IT TO US! (BUT IT WAS SO FUNNY TO SEE THE WIDE EYES ON THE BOYS FACES JUST BECAUSE THEY SO LOVED THOSE ANIMALS & THE LARGER THAN LIFE COLORS USED IN THIS LITTLE BOOK. I HAD TO KEEP SAYING CARSON READ.... THE SILLY CHOICES SANTA MAKES TRYING DIFFERENT ANIMALS JUST EXCITED THEM & TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANIMALS & SANTA ON EACH PAGE WE REALLY HAD A BALL! THAT'S WHAT READING TOGETHER IS ALL ABOUT!
