Review:

Santa Saves Christmas by Saving the Earth from Global Warming! Just imagine...what if Santa had to wear shorts at the North Pole and all the reindeer spent their days fanning themselves in the warm sunshine? Climate change is even impacting the Jolly Old Elf, himself. But, it doesn t have to be this way! In the new children s book Riding with Santa, authors Li-Ying Bao and R. Michael Webb bring global warming down to a level where kids can understand and even begin to help solve the problem. While Santa is out checking on who s naughty and who s nice, he sees some startling changes in the landscape. The children Santa meet are also concerned about the smoggy cities, clear-cutting of forests, and the melting icebergs. But, what can be done? Santa and the children decide to make some changes that will have a big impact. Solar panels, windmills and an awesome, new, super-efficient sleigh named Santa II are some of the improvements at the Claus residence! What will you and your family do to help? With bright, colorful illustrations, this book is sure to become a favorite in many households around the world since each page contains translations in Chinese, German and Spanish. Young English speakers looking to expand their foreign language skills will also have fun reading the translations. Parents will enjoy this book as a family conversation starter. Riding with Santa shows children that everyone can make a difference in solving a problem...even the littlest elves in Santa Land. This Christmas tale with a heart-warming, positive message will quickly become your new family tradition. --The Jenkins Group
