Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS. A failed attempt to put a fresh spin on an oft-told and hackneyed tale. The well-known letter by the little girl supposedly written to the editor of the New York Sun in 1897 and the editor's equally well-known reply is replayed here with no changes to the text. The exchange is presented in a small-book format and the young letter-writer is a cat. Although the wide-eyed feline and the rest of her family are shown engaging in a host of holiday activities, the illustrations do little to extend the story or even make it understandable for young audiences. This is a total mismatch of art and text, and the result is particularly jarring. Yes, Virginia, it takes more than cute furry kittens and holiday baubles to make a successful picture book.

Card catalog description
The text of the well-known editorial explaining that Santa Claus exists despite rumors to the contrary.
