Review Detail

The market is saturated with tales of Santa but Santa’s Gotta Go! Is certainly a unique addition to the genre. Monte and Mabel would love to spend some time playing with Santa. They get their wish when a part of his sleigh breaks and it will take a few days to fix. However, Santa is not a courteous house guest and he overstays his welcome. I feel like many people can relate as in-laws or children home from college come to stay for the Holiday break. I could see this book strategically being read to the “children” in easy hearing distance of the derelict family members who need to remember to clean up, replace what they used, and head on their merry way. The ending was cute as well. Overall, this would be a fun book for older children looking for a new holiday tale with a funny twist.
