Nice enough Christmas story. Like many of them, it is a secular fantasy with religious morals. Santa Claus doesn't want to deliver gifts because the world is just too terrible. As is typical in stories like this, everything works out ok in the end. Surprisingly for a children's book, the author

actually describes the news stories of a typical day. SPOILER: But, because of the merit of one good family, he changes his mind and even helps make it a better place by granting their requests.

This book is part of the Flat Stanley series. In this book Santa has decided to give up on Christmas because of the world today. Santa's daughter Sarah has a brilliant idea to cheer Santa back up. Santa's favorite letter was written by a little boy named Stanley. Stanley had written a letter to

Santa when he was still flat because he needed new clothes...Sarah decides to go to Stanley's house to get him and bring him back to Santa. However, when she gets there she sees that he is not flat anymore, but takes him and his family, since he couldn't go alone, back to the North Pole. Eventually, the Lambchop family put some spirit back into Santa and cheer up Christmas.

This is one of the Flat Stanley series. In this book, Stanley is not flat anymore, but he still has important work to do, including saving Christmas. My first grader enjoyed this as our read-aloud selection, and I appreciate the message that Christmas isn't all about getting presents. A good

holiday read!

Stanley and his family prove again that selflessness can change hearts and do a lot of good.
