SantaKid Review
I purchased this book for my mother who is a die hard Patterson reader. She had searched locally for this book which was the only one lacking in her collection. Much to my delight (and hers) I found it on Amazon and it was the "perfect" christmas gift she wasn't expecting. It is a cute story that we began reading to the family every holiday now along with the traditional stories.

Excellent Children's Book - Ms. Lynnellen -
I am in the process of collecting every book written by James Patterson, and was very surprised when this children's book came along. Very cute story and excellent illustrations.
Ho-ho-wholly uninspired - JZK - Hauppauge, NY
I took this book out of the library, and found it painful to read. My son was fairly interested, I admit, but the concept is not so much the problem-it's the prose. The sarcasm in the attempt to make fun of Santa's "job" has the opposite effect it intends; the only sentences that seem to land are the ones questioning the plausibility of Santa's work. The main character as many have written here, is thin, and sappy; it seems like a book that was sketched out to be the basis of a third rate kid's movie, with the undeveloped stock characters and cardboard dialogue you'd expect in that genre. The attempts at adult humor which drive the plot are forced and unoriginal. Santa Kid could have been much more, but it wasn't. And I agree with the reviewer who thought the poster "gift" in the back of the book is quite lame.
