This is an interesting book. Each page is a different day of the month from December 1 to the 24th. Each day is a little mini story about Santa, Mrs. Clause, the elves, etc. If you need something short and sweet to get your kids off to sleep, a page a night would work quite well. The illustrations are pretty typical, but lovely. Overall, I find this book very interesting and I think a family could really have fun with it.
