“This book is so much fun, and you and your kids will pore over it for hours.”Jenny Williams, geekdad.com

 

“For Santa fans ready for a really in-depth look at the great man’s long history, “Santa Claus: All About Me” is a chatty autobiographical account that purports to be based on his diaries….It’s gorgeous, funny and informative….The ratio of text to illustration is fairly high, so older children will probably get the most out of this book, but the flaps and letters and pop-ups mean there is something to amuse younger readers too. When one of my 8-year-old sons first flipped through “Santa Claus: All About Me,” he announced, “No one really reads a book like this all the way through.” But I caught him settling down with it for a longer look. He may not emerge until Christmas. – New York Times

 

“A lovely gift book filled with lots of information about the holiday through history, and while it may sometimes seem too advanced for little kids, it’s a book they’ll grow with. – nationally syndicated review column: New York Parenting News / Palm Beach Garden magazine

 

“Eye-catching artwork, interactive embellishments, and snippets of Christmas lore present quite a bit for readers to sink their teeth into. – Publishers Weekly

 

“An omnium-gatherum of Christmastime lore, customs, history, literature, fond memories and personal notes... handsome, informative gift item. – Kirkus Reviews

 

“Atkinson’s gorgeous gift book is penned with old-fashioned yet highly readable print, and is full of pop-ups and fold-outs, maps, recipes, secret letters, a snowflake that comes to life and so much more. A beautiful book, “Santa Claus: All About Me will make any child anticipate Christmas with wonder and joy. – Kids Corner, nationally syndicated review column

 

“From his fast-flying reindeer (including a speeding ticket) to his brushes with Capt. James Cook and Isaac Newton, Santa divulges little-known facts about his life in a lush interactive book. – Columbus Dispatch

 

“Santa lets readers into his “secret library with … pages of facts (the 1914 truce on Christmas Eve), trivia and recipes (e.g., gingerbread cookies, Christmas pudding), illustrated with full-color paintings, photo reproductions and map facsimiles. The voices of children come through in letters to and visits with Santa, and pop-up pages and cards that lift out further enhance the interactive fun. – Shelf Awareness
