PreS—A disjointed description of Santa's qualities, written as a job ad and accompanied by boldly outlined cartoons. "Do you grow your own mistletoe/Trees, wreaths, and holly/MUST LOVE SNOW/And always be jolly." Bright spreads won't engage young readers but sort of illustrate the laundry list.

VERDICT Not fun and not worth buying.
