Reviews

Kolbs spirited cartoon art offers plenty of eye candy (kudos to Kolb for Santas brown skin), while the long and narrow, multifaceted format is great fun. * Publishers Weekly *
This delightful, non-narrative excursion unfoldsliterallyin a sturdy volume that extends into a yuletide train over 4 feet long . . . With so much to see, seek, and answer, this book has a ton of interactive appeal. The cartoonish illustrations are charming and rich in detail, and it is rendered in a lush, pleasing palette with a refreshingly brown-skinned Santa as its star. Train-loving tots may fancy this Christmas ride all year long. * Kirkus Reviews *
