What happens when a precocious, independent pre-schooler meets Santa Claus for the very first time? This delightful book follows a bright, imaginative child through his anticipation and awed meeting of Kris Kringle. Whimsical illustrations provide humor for children and adults. Meanwhile, parents and children will enjoy Santa's wise explanation of what it really means when he asks, "Have you been good this year?" This novel, written by a veteran teacher and mother of two, supports the patience required of anyone who loves and/or works with children.PARENT NOTE TO SUPPORT EARLY READING: This book focuses on COLORS and NUMBERS. To support color recognition, pick a color you see on each page and ask your child to point out the color to you. Some pages have multiple items on the page (ex: people, wreaths, ornaments, candy canes, gift boxes, hats, scarves, windows, houses, reindeer, etc.). To support early math skills, ask your child to count how many of a particular item are on a page.
