Fun book and great Illistrations! Fun to read with kids! Great learning about Christmas using the alphabet and making up songs with the words in the book. Would recommend

Cute picture book for young kids showing various christmassy items (in order from A - Z,) on every page.
It's a cheerful idea for Christmas time offering for the young ones a healthy mixture of entertainment and learning, which is always the best way to memorize things.
The book is nice, but didn't over-excite me. There are better, more colourful versions out there.

This is a fun Christmas story that goes through each letter of the alphabet.

The title is a great pun. Learn your ABCs with Santa, telling you about traditions of Christmas while rhyming well.
Some of the verses don’t say much, too abstract, but in general should be fun for the kiddies.
The illustrations are done on postage stamp backgrounds, with some throwback style; 50s or 60s or something like that. It’s cute.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

'Letters from Santa' by Katrina Streza is an alphabet book using the Christmas holiday as a theme.

Each letter looks kind of like a stamp. There are angels and elves and jingle bells. The text has a nice cadence. The illustrations are clean and colorful.

This would be a good storytime book for December for young children. It is a good introduction to the sights and traditions of the season. I enjoyed reading this, even in July.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Xist Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I really wanted to give this book a 4 star, but i can't. I love the postage stamp illustrations, and overall I really like the book. However, it seems like it would be a nice religious less book, and it flows that way except for letters K (for the king who was born this way), and V for the village church. If the book wants to look at the religious aspects of the holiday they should do so in more than two letters, or leave out the religious aspect all together.

A great book for young children. Easy to read words that correlate with Christmas. My only issue was using X for Christmas.

This one was a hit with the grandson. He loves saying his letters and alphabet and has several alphabet books, but he really liked this one. He was able to tell me what most of the letters stood from but the ones he didn't know (ornaments) he kept saying over and over. He wanted me to read it several times. The only think I didn't like was the X is for X-mas. K was for King which he understood to be Jesus, but then when I told him X-Mas he kept saying no, it's Christmas. Otherwise some great choices for the letters. A great additions to a family Holiday library.

This is a holiday alphabet book, although the subtitle denoting it as an alphabet book is tiny. The pictures, rhyming story are cute and would lend themselves to being a board book that could be giftable . The pictures are subtle in color, and are nostalgically retro. This review is for a pending paperback copy.

Wonderful book for home and school use,can be used as wall posters for alphabeth work plus use of new vocabulary and sentence structure.
A must.

This ABC book ties in to the Christmas holiday nicely. Need a gift for a one or two year old for Christmas? This is a great choice! The illustrations are simple, the colors thematic, and the rhyming pattern perfect.

I was drawn to the cover of this book when I was looking at possible presents for my little girls first Christmas. I liked the layout of the book and the images were nice and bright, definitely one I think she will like - 4 stars

What a delightful book for the festive season - a whole alphabet full of Christmas-related items with large, easy-read text, and bold illustrations made to look as if they are printed onto stamps. This is a book that can be read again and again for the build-up to Christmas and young ones will enjoy, whilst learning lots of new words.
