This was a cute fanciful tale about the life of Santa Claus. I thought it was so good. I loved the details of the world and all the other creatures. I would recommend it.

Too Cute!
I bought this book for myself, but my husband took it and enjoyed every page of it. He even told me about it as he was ready it. Considering my husband is not a reader this is amazing.

Wonderful Book!
This is a great book with beautiful illustrations. My granddaughter (who is a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz--also by L. Frank Baum) was delighted with it.
