The Perfect Holiday Gift,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antonella and Her Santa Claus (Hardcover)
When your child starts to think that the holidays are nothing more than a chance to get lots of toys, it's time for Antonella and Her Santa Claus. It's a Christmas story they won't see animated on TV. This book will open your child's eyes to the meaning of Christmas... and giving. It's beautifully illustrated. Highly recommended!

Destined to become a classic!,

This review is from: Antonella and Her Santa Claus (Hardcover)
I read this book to my 3rd grade class each year in December, right before they write Santa Letters to the local small town newspaper. This book delivers the message that it's natural for children to believe in Santa, but sometimes even if your wishes are few, they may not be met. The storyline delivers the message that the act of giving is just as important as the act of receiving. The illustrations are tastefully done watercolors. It affirms that life is made more meaningful when strangers help others. However, it does not squash the idea of Santa for true believers, as toward the end of the story Santa appears on a sleigh of sorts...powered by helicopter blades! I would highly recommend this book as a Christmas letter starter, or even as a bedtime story. Good for ages 8-10.
