This will become a timeless story! The artwork is breathtaking, and the story definently got the attention of my 5 year old! Anxious to see what Michael Garland does next!

This is an excellent story for kids and parents! As wonderful as the story is, the illustrations are even better. My 2 1/2 year old wants me to read "the Santa book" every night before bed. I highly recommend this book for children of all ages. It will soon be a classic right along with The Night Before Christmas.

My mother got this book for my daughter, who is now 5. She absolutely loves this book, and quite frankly, I do too. I am going to buy another one for keepsake, because we are wearing the first one out.

This is a cute book with charming illustrations. It almost appears to have two endings, but for the age it's intended, that shouldn't matter. It serves its purpose well - entertaining both children and adults. You don't often find books written and illustrated by the same person as this one is. I was pleased with my purchase.

I'm typically wary of rhyming books, because often the rhymes aren't that good. I was pleasantly surprised here, and Garland kept to the pace of the original story/rhyme quite well indeed! This story centers around a cute little mouse who IS stirring on Christmas Eve in its hopes to see Santa.

I enjoyed these warm and happy illustrations and was pleased to see the illustrations of various different cities around the world. Also, yay! Santa is quite nice and jolly in this book!

If you happen to run across this book, I'd definitely suggest picking it up and perusing it :)

This is a very charming holiday story piggybacking on the Santa Claus myth. Artwork is very colorful, and both the story line and the artwork will keep a child's attention.
