With bright and whimsical illustrations, this take on the Christmas story is sure to become a holiday reading tradition—especially at bedtime! Written by John T. Elkins and illustrated by Ag Jatkowska, A Christmas Gift for Santa is:

  • A great holiday season read for ages 4 to 8
  • A wonderful story filled with love and gratitude
  • Filled with delightful rhyming text that the little ones in your life will want to read again and again

Follow Santa as he searches his cozy North Pole home until he finds homemade gifts waiting for him next to a beautiful handwritten note.

A Christmas Gift for Santa is great choice for any family to read together during the holiday season.

How does Santa celebrate Christmas after finishing his round-the-globe deliveries? In this rhyming picture book, readers accompany jolly old St. Nick on a search through his 'old cottage house' at the North Pole for a gift. He spies empty stockings and his 'old buckled boots' 'near the crand egrave;che,' and the elves dozing 'in polka-dot jammies/ And jingle-belled toes,' but no brightly wrapped surprise with his name on it. Jatkowska fills her mixed-media illustrations with cozy details and a cast of kind-eyed, gently smiling critters, including a playful cat and mouse that readers can seek and find in every spread. A thoughtful note from Mrs. Claus helps to perfectly cap off the evening--and the present-hunt. * Publishers Weekly *
