Heavier than I was expecting, but filled with Christmas magic. A sweet Holiday story.

I read this book to my 7 year old son over Christmas Break from school. He absolutly loved it! I also loved it! Ann M. Martin is one of my favorite childhood authors, and I am finding more books written by her that my son can relate too. This book helps keeps Santa alive.

I read this when I was about 12 and remember loving it and thinking it was the most magical book and best Christmas story. It was enchanting the second time through as well.

A nice story. Would especially be good for young children. Speaks about Santa but also a lot of real life topics.

I might not be the best audience for this book, but there is a lot of old fashioned sweetness here. It would probably be a great book to read to kids who still believe in Santa, as it answers a lot of questions. The talking dog bit was sweet but weird, especially how the dog seemed to know so much information. There's a lot of sadness mixed with the sweetness, but the carols the girls sing outside of Sarah's dad's hospital room was a wonderful scene.
