Every year I do a Christmas book sack for my kids where I wrap books and have them open them and read them as a family leading up to Christmas. This is one of my picks for this year. The book is really cool because it explains how Santa became Santa! It takes things we know about Santa, such as that he can go down chimneys and that he loves reindeer and explains how that came to be.
The story starts out with Santa cleaning chimneys, but he gets fired because he never got dirty and no one believes he actually cleaned them. Then, he started working for the post office delivering packages, but people got mad because he was delivering on weekends, so he had to find another job. Later on, he starts working at the zoo, but only pays attention to the reindeer and the other animals got jealous. He joins the circus and loved flying through the air and when he signed autographs for a bunch of elves, they invite him to their house in the North Pole and he learns they make toys and is excited to bring the toys to children all over the world.
I was amazed at how the author explained things we know about Santa and I also liked that it makes children see that even though Santa had bad luck with jobs, he never gave up and finally found what he was good at. Overall, a really cute book for Christmas!
