About this title

Review:

A good-hearted story about an enduring Christmas vision that never fails to fill the most jaded child with wonder. Newsweek
This charming fairy tale for children of all ages centers around an old man who thinks he is Santa Claus. It makes a lot more sense than most of us would like to admit. Newsweek
Reading the funny, touching fantasy may become a Yuletide habit like watching the movie. Publishers Weekly
A highly recommended family or classroom read-aloud, this should quickly claim, as the film has, its own well-deserved niche for many holiday celebrations ahead. Booklist (boxed review)
A splendid story. The New York Times Book Review
