Publisher’s Blurb:
Santa has a problem. This kid? Harold? Santa doesn't think he's real.
He WANTS to believe in Harold--after all, Harold is one of the most magical
parts of Christmas. Getting Harold's letters, eating the cookies he leaves out,
feeding his carrots to the reindeer... what would Christmas be without that?
But Santa's just not sure. Some of his friends are telling him they think
Harold's not real. And the Harold that sat on his knee last Christmas looked
AWFULLY different. Santa comes up with a plan to find out once and for all if
Harold really exists... with hilarious consequences.
My Thoughts:
I loved this one! All those
excuses kids use for not believing in Santa, Santa uses for not believing in
Harold. When the two finally meet, it’s adorable.
The illustrations are colorful
and whimsical, and Santa is very, very round!
Possible Objectionable
Material:
If you don’t want your kids to
think about Santa, Jack Frost, or the Abominable Snowman, don’t go here. Dad
drinks coffee. Harold sneaks out of his room at night.
Who Might Like This Book:
Anyone who loves Santa,
regardless of age.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the
ARC.
