Review

Haiku written by Santa on an old typewriter provides an introduction to how he spends the month of December. Each poem shares one gem of a simple and relaxed life in the North Pole.

Most Christmas books are red all over but Groenink selected lovely blues for most of the layout. Shading adds solemnity to many of the lovely poems but a few pages are just to brown in this charming title.

Add this to collections of Christmas titles and gift a copy to an art teacher.

Overall Book Score: very good
