Format:Hardcover
My son (aged 6) had this for Christmas last year and it was an immediate hit and remains one of his favourite books. Despite being a bit American in places, the book takes repeated reading as well as being something children can look at on their own and it combines fact and fiction almost seamlessly. You therefore move from animals of the Polar regions and descriptions of Father Christmas's original green robes, to pictures of the villages where the elves live and an analysis of the sleigh and its special features - how it flies, where Santa keeps his hot water bottle and the fairy dust to a map of the route Santa travls on Christmas Eve. It even has a Christmas card in the front from Santa and Mrs Claus and there are lots of things to pull out, fold back etc.
A good buy at Christmas for everyone who adores Santa

Format:Hardcover
A friend of mine recommended this book, she has had it for a couple of years and her son is a year older than mine. She raved about it, so I got it for my son this year and I wished I had know about it before. He thought it was fantastic, a real believer still (as am I). It answers all those mysterious questions that one is never quite quick enough to answer or answer well. We read it on the lead up to christmas day. "Oh! of course" would be my sons reply to much of the information. The illustations are incredible and the little treats inside special pockets are fun. A lovely lovely book. Highly recommended.
Format:Hardcover
This book is unlike any I've seen before. It's illustrations are so vivid and some pages have envelopes containing small letters with interesting information that I know my kids will love to take out and read. It truly is magical!

Disappointed in the paperback version
I like this book but am disappointed that I can't get the hardback version with the flaps to lift up, letters to pull out, Santa's diary etc mentioned by all the other reviewers. Read more
