Is There a Santa Claus?: A Little Girl's Question Answered [Paperback]

Francis Pharcellus Church (Author), August Kaiser (Illustrator), Francis Church (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999 | Age Level: 4 and up

In 1897 an eight year old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to The New York Sun in which she asked, "some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus...Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?" The editor's famous answer reads, in part, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity exist".

This booklet reprints an attractively designed and illustrated version made by Augustus Kaiser in the 1920's. It is 24 pages long, and is accompanied by an decorative envelope, as it is our intention that people will send it as an elaborate Christmas Card.

This review is from: Is There a Santa Claus?: A Little Girl's Question Answered (Paperback)

When each of my children asked the title's question, I struggled for the right answer. I think this book answers the question beautifully. It answers the question by telling us that we must believe in things we cannot see and have faith in the existence of things we cannot explain. I have bought several copies of this book to give as gifts to young children who will someday ask the question. Hopefully, this book will help their parents answer it. I highly recommend it.
