There are way too many really good books about Santa out there to waste time or money on one this poor. It’s not constructed well: the binding will never stand up to library usage, and the many items glued into the book to give it three-dimensional character are often misaligned, at times even covering up the words. It’s not written well: intended to be written in Santa’s voice, it babbles along is a random string-of-consciousness that makes Santa seem annoyingly ADHD (and it’s not punctuated well). And it’s not illustrated well: it includes a variety of illustration styles that, instead of coming across as eclectic, just seem disjoined.
