1. It's Christmas by Tina Burke
   Oh the magic of Christmas traditions. The story is simple and each page illustrates a preparation for the holidays. For example, the text "There are things to do...." is accompanied by an illustration of a boy making Christmas cookies and "...and people to see" shows a girl on Santa's lap. Other activities are singing Carols, decorating, making presents, and waiting for Santa. Karen Woodworth-Roman, www.librarians.info

5 comments about Mrs. Claus Takes A Vacation.

1. Charming pictures full of clever details, plus a glimpse of other cultures. The picture of the Taj Mahal is particularly beautiful!



2. Linas Alsenas' MRS. CLAUS TAKES A VACATION wonders why Santa's getting all the travel time while she stays at home in the North Pole. Her decision to let Santa prepare for the holidays alone promotes independence and a fun adventure in this different holiday story.



3. After reading a review in the paper, I thought this would be a great book to read with my grandchildre at the holidays. It was just okey. Not one that I will save and read again.



4. I gave this book to my young cousins and neighbors for Christmas this past year, and it has been a big hit with all of them! Mrs. Claus Takes a Vacation is a beautiful book that tells a lovely and original story. The illustrations are very detailed and clever (it's fun to spot the reindeer) and introduce children to new places as well (Mrs. Claus eating sushi in Japan is particularly cute, and the Lithuanian folk dance spread is charming!). I highly recommend this book as a wonderful Christmas gift that is sure to be read year after year!



5. WE ALL LIKED SEEING MRS. CLAUS AT THE BEACH! CUTE LITTLE EASY TO READ STORY WITH A NICE ROMANTIC ENDING! GLAD WE HAVE IT IN OUR COLLECTION!

1. This delightful book should be known by more people.It is charmingly written and beautifully illustrated.Perfect to read to children but older readers will like to just sit with it and absorb its sweet,serene message that quietly gets to the core of the Christmas mystery.

1 comments about Santa Gets A Haircut (Santa Gets a Haircut).

1. When I brought these books home, my kids (5 and 7) took one look and had to read them right away. The stories are entertaining and they loved the colorful, funny illustrations. The kids especially enjoyed reading along with the CD that came with the story. It has the author reading, as well as sound effects and voices. My son reads the books on his own now and repeats all the sounds he heard on the CD. There is always a good lesson to learn in each story as well. This is a great series of books for any kid, of any age, who ever wondered what Santa Claus does when he's not delivering Christmas presents!
