Dear Santa, I Know It Looks Bad but It Wasn't My Fault!
By Lewis, Norma
Scalawag has been an outstanding cat all year (at least, according to him) . Any troublesome incidents that Santa may or may not have heard about to the contrary can be fully explained.So, Scalawag sets out to write Santa a series of letters in anticipation of Christmas, clearing up any potential misunderstandings, and of course, expressing his Christmas gift wish -- a Catman and Robin video game! But when one incident involves the Christmas tree catching on fire, and Miss Violet (Scalawag's ever-loving, nurturing, and forgiving caretaker) ending up in the emergency room, Scalawag gets a new perspective on things. He writes one last letter to Santa asking him to forget about the video game, and instead asks him to bring a different gift . . . one that expresses the true warmth and spirit of Christmas.40 pages.Picture book measures 9-3/4'' wide x 10'' high.Full-color throughout.Sturdy hardcover binding with dust jacket.Norma Lewis lives in Grand Haven, Michigan, with a cat coincidentally named Scalawag. He did not inspire the cat-astrophic shenanigans described in this or any other book, but she knows he could and lives in fear that he will. This is Norma's fifth book for children. Olivia Beckman worked for years in graphic design and magazine layout until one day her little inner bird whispered to her that it was time to focus on the type of illustration that inspired her to study the Fine Arts in the first place -- children's art! She feels very lucky to illustrate children's books -- and especially loves drawing people doing everyday activities, animals with fluffy fur, and mischievous cats.

He couldn't buy his parents a present because there were too many toys to look at. He couldn't put up the tree lights because they were just too tangled. Little Critter means well, but every funny illustration shows him as tangled up as the Christmas lights.

The Miracle of Saint Nicholas
By Whelan, Gloria
It was the day before Christmas in a small Russian village. Alexis babushka was telling him what Christmas was like when she was a girl - before the soldiers came. "Our church was as crowded as a pod full of peas. Candles made the church as bright as the sunniest day. Watching over us was the blessed icon of St. Nicholas." Alexi had many questions, including, "Why cant we celebrate Christmas tomorrow in St. Nicholas?" Babushka sadly replied that it would take a miracle after sixty years. Well, Alexi had heard enough. If there truly was such a thing as a miracle, why couldnt one happen here? And so unfolds a story which poignantly reveals how, though quiet and hidden, faith and hope can not be suppressed - by soldiers or by time. Beautifully illustrated with original four-color paintings on every page. A perfect Christmas present.

Reviewed with Fay Robinson's Halloween Crafts.Gr. 2-4. Pillowcase ghosts, sock bats, and a "Santa Sneezebox" tissue cover are among the accessible projects featured in these books from the new Fun Holiday Crafts Kids Can Do! series. On each double-page spread, color photos illustrate the steps in a confusing jumble that children may find hard to follow, but Robinson's clear text will sort out what to do. A majority of the projects are refreshingly down-to-earth. Most can be completed in just a few steps and most are created from common household items and a few craft-store staples such as pipe cleaners; Xerox-ready patterns to enlarge are at the back of the book. Several projects may require an older person's assistance and safety notes appear throughout.

The Legend of Saint Nicholas
By Demi,
From his very first day of life, when he rises from his bath to pray to God, it is clear that Nicholas is a miraculous child with a spiritual destiny. As he grows he is deeply saddened by the sickness, suffering, and death that he witnesses every day.

Through his good works, Nicholas becomes the youngest man to ever become a bishop and the patron saint of seafarers, children, and prisoners. He performs more than twenty miracles, including bringing those wrongly killed back to life and going to people in need as an apparition, providing solace and inspiration. In The Legend of Saint Nicholas, Demi describes pivotal events in the history and life of the saint, weaving a rich tapestry of luminous imagery into the story of his connection with Christmas and our modern-day Santa Claus. Demi's gilded artwork brings Nicholas to life in a way sure to mesmerize readers new to the story of this fascinating and important historical figure.

How Santa Got His Job
By Krensky, Stephen
If you think Santa Claus came into the world sporting a red suit and a white beard, think again. Santa wasn't always the jolly, overweight, gift-giving fellow that we now know and love. He tried his hand at all sorts of different jobs, including postal worker, zookeeper, circus performer, and even chimney sweep, but each of these presented a problem that got in his way. It wasn't until he was lucky enough to meet a friendly bunch of elves that Santa found his true calling...and the job of his dreams. Stephen Krensky's understated text and S. D. Schindler's charming illustrations come together to create an imaginative and funny tale that proves even the best of us have to try, try again.

Muckle, one of the elves who helps Santa, thinks he can come up with a more efficient way for delivering the toys -- a method that won't involve Santa at all.

Pooch on the Loose
By Kroll, Steven
Bart loves his owner Max, but its Christmastime in the city, and Bart longs for some adventure. So when Max is busy bringing in his Christmas tree, Bart gets his chance and becomes a pooch on the loose! From a dance with the famed Rockettes to skating in Central Park, Bart experiences the dazzling New York sights and learns along the way that at home with Max is where Bart truly belongs. Read more Continue reading Read less FROM BOOKLIST PreS-Gr. 1. With all the hustle and bustle of New York City at Christmastime, this story focuses on Bart, a Scottie who feels he isnt taking full advantage of his city because his owner, Max, keeps him on a leash. On the day Max brings home the Christmas tree, Bart breaks free, and--boom--its like the musical On the Town, in which three sailors have one day ashore to take in all of New York City. Bart rides on the Staten Island Ferry, enjoys the view from the Empire State Building, and sees the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. Then, tired and cold, he heads home to a worried, welcoming Max. The tale is more picaresque romp than actual story. The primary attraction is Garlands Photoshop artwork, which integrates New York landmarks into the glossy, lively pictures. The way Garland bends buildings and curves images to convey a feeling of motion is particularly delightful and creative. Kids who have experienced New York will have the most fun with this. - Ilene Cooper Copyright American Library Association.

He wound up adopting all the dogs, but none could replace the reindeer.Award-winning author Jerry Pallotta delivers a humorous Christmas tale that reimagines what Santa's sleigh ride would be like with dogs.
