Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Series: Cars

There's a fuel bandit on the loose in Radiator Springs.  Not only does this mean that the cars will soon be running on fumes, but it also makes it impossible for the town's postal trucks to deliver everyone's Christmas letters to Santa Car!

 

Mater's determined to get his letter to Santa, though.  Luckily, Fillmore has just enough of his special Christmas gasoline for Mater and Lightning McQueen to make the trek to the North Pole, while the rest of the town investigates the mysterious missing fuel.  But when Mater finally meets Santa Car, he learns that Christmas might actually need to be cancelled this year...unless Mater and McQueen can save the day!

 

This 48-page picture book with foil stamping and embossing on the cover is sure to become a Christmas classic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Whoa, wouldn't have bought if I knew it questions if Santa is real!, November 18, 2011

This review is from: Disney*Pixar Cars: Mater Saves Christmas (Hardcover)

My son loves Cars and loved this book. But to my dismay, as we read through it for the first time, I was not pleased to realize it questions if "Santa Car" is real. My son is 4 1/2 and a faithful believer in Santa. I am not ready in anyway to expose him to the thoughts that Santa might not be real. There is plenty of time for that when he is older. That being said, now when we read the book I edit/leave that part out. But if I would have known that was part of the storyline, I would never had purchased the book!

My son has read it every night since it was given to him. He loves it. He also acts out the scenes with the cars from Target. He likes all the Mater stories, tall tales and accompaning toys. He WANTS to read this book. Thank you!!!

This review is from: Disney*Pixar Cars: Mater Saves Christmas (Hardcover)

My son loves all things Cars related, but I have to admit I don't like most of the related books because they are not made very well, with awkward words and very cartoon-ish pictures that look very different from the movie. Not so with this book! I decided to take a risk and buy this book because my little guy has a Cars Christmas stocking and ornaments of Lightning McQueen and Mater. It is a beautiful book, hardbound with gold metallic on the front cover, and the pictures inside are nice paintings. The design of the Santa Car character is so clever, I love this little book. Reading it will definitely be a Christmas tradition in our house. Highly recommended for everyone! And as for this book touching the point that Santa Car is not real, only the "naughty" character who only gets dirty oil filters in his stocking questions it.
