Book Reviews of How Santa Got His Job
Book Review: A great addition to an eclectic Christmas collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of our favorite Christmas bedtime stories; it's short, funny and unique in its perspective on a well-canvassed holiday. Neither cloying nor maudlin, How Santa Got His Job is a delightful revision of the Santa myth. Its subtle humor is slyly reinforced by the illustrations - I especially like the jealous expressions on the faces of the zoo animals as Santa pals around with the reindeer! Parents will catch many little flourishes that children miss, but that makes the act of reading the story fun for everyone.
Summary of How Santa Got His Job
When Santa was young and needed a job, no one was looking for a man in a red suit to deliver gifts on Christmas. So Santa tried just about everything -- from a chimney sweep to a postman to a circus performer. But none of these worked out. It wasn't until he met a group of elves who helped him use all his special talents, that Santa was able to find his dream job.
