Just a sweet story of how Jake kept writing Santa and adding more and more things to his list. Santa responds each time with messages of it better to give that receive and Jake doesn't get it. Santa surprise him and he learns the lesson. I appreciate how it is written in letter format, the rhyming, and the message. As a librarian I can see this being read for years to come.

THIS WAS SO FUN. My 3 year old LOVED reading this one before bed and it sparked up a great conversation about the importance of being a good boy and how it's way more fun to make people happy than to receive a gift.

This was such a fun and silly read with a wonderful message at the heart of it. The back and forth letters were a great way to show the spirit of the holiday. It was especially fun getting to see Jake in the role of Santa. I also appreciated the rhyming used as it created a nice reading cadence for the kids. Also, the illustrations are darling. They’re vibrant, cartoony and fit the festive vibe perfectly. I definitely recommend this one.

I was excited for an opportunity to review a new Christmas book as my kids are big fans of Christmas and anything Santa. This book was advertised as being for kids ages 3-7. The illustrations were great and detailed. While I appreciated the overall morale of this story, I think it may be better suited for ages 5 and up. I am not sure if I will be reading this story to my toddlers.

Thank you to NetGalley for this e-copy of When Santa Wrote Back by Nathan Christopher in exchange for a honest review. This is a wonderful rhyming story about a boy named Jake who is more of a taker than a giver and has a long list of gifts he wants from Santa.Santa tells him to change his ways but what happens when he doesn’t.? Santa turns the tables on him and teaches him a valuable lesson.Perfect read for preschoolers!

I read this with my son who is five and he enjoyed it as well as I did. We love Christmas and I teach him that it is not just about receiving gifts but giving-whether that's a gift or help needed. This book was beautifully illustrated and written, cannot wait to buy a physically copy to read more closer to December!

When Santa Wrote Back by Nathan Christopher is a fun and festive holiday read where a boy’s over-the-top letter gets a surprising reply from Santa. With humor, heart, and playful illustrations, it’s a perfect Christmas story for kids and families to enjoy together!

This is my new favorite Christmas book. I've already preordered a copy for my granddaughter.

I loved everything about it. The rhyming was perfect, Jake was the cutest, hilarious character. A great lesson for every child to think of others and not ask for too much for Christmas. I loved the list of suggestions for writing to Santa at the end.
I received this galley from NetGalley.

Thank you for the ARC. This was an awesome story. Not only were the illustrations spot on, but the rhymes were great and not over done and the message in the story was so important. We often forget that Christmas is a time of giving, not receiving. Wonderful book!

This is a kids book about a kid who creates a penpal relationship with Santa to learn that Christmas is about more than gifts. I am a sucker for a kids book with a lesson. I would say this book would be perfect to be read to kids 4-6 but would still have lessons for my 9 year old! The illustrations are great and the message is clear.

A silly and goofy chidlren's book for the holiday season. I felt like I saw myself as a child when reading this book! Fun and joyful read :)

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Such a cute holiday book. It has a great message without the message overpowering the fun. The illustrations are engaging and help tell the story. I shared it with some kids and they spent a lot of time admiring the illustrations. It is a rhyming book, but without it feeling forced. The writing flows well. Great addition to a holiday collection. I will be adding it to mine.
