My Thoughts
This recent addition to the "Here I Come" series from Penguin Random House is sure to get little ones excited for the holidays. The author combines factual information (Santa Claus Around the World) with silly and entertaining sections (My Christmas Sweater, The Wonders of Fruitcake).
The text is delivered through rhyming(ish) verse that is fun to read aloud and the illustrations are bright and colorful. The depicted characters represent a variety of races and abilities.
For added fun, there is a page of stickers in the back that kids can use for cards or projects.
This book, and series, is perfect for young readers ages 4-8.
