Who Will Pull Santa's Sleigh? written by Russ Willms, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: If you need a good, fun Christmas book for a child this is a winner. The story is interesting in how it describes Santa's first time delivering gifts and what he had to go through to find the perfect team to pull the sleigh. There are very funny lines pertaining to Santa's quest when he writes a job description that includes "Landing accuracy important" and "Magic flying dust will be provided." And the author's illustrations are very, very cute and fun and complement the story so well. Children will enjoy the variety of animal teams trying out for the job. The bats will only work at night, the sharks want to eat everything and the bunnies are too bouncy. The dogs almost get the job but a pesky squirrel distracts them too easily. When the reindeer try for the job they are perfect. Children will now know how reindeer were selected. The humor in the text and illustrations will be a hit with parents and children. This fun book is perfect for the Christmas season. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: This is a fun book for Christmas. Very funny text and illustrations. Kids and adults reading the book to kids will love it.
