What Kind of Book is Santa's Book of Names
Reviews
This book has some pretty lovely illustrations in it. I like that the boy does what he can to help Santa and has an idea for how to get Santa's book back and goes for it. He even learns to read so that he can help when Santa's in a bind, though it seemed a little far-fetched.
This book is a bit long, but totally worth it to experience Edward's role as Santa's helper and the confidence and skills he gains when Santa needs him most. The illustrations are gorgeous and demonstrative and all of the characters are relatable and realistic, while still being part of a story that's sparkling with ordinary and extraordinary Christmas magic!
