BOOK NOOK REVIEWS: Waiting For Santa by Steve Metzger

TITLE: Waiting For Santa

AUTHOR: Steve Metzger

ILLUSTRATOR: Alison Edgson

PUBLISHER:  Litte Tiger Press, 2015

SYNOPSIS:

It’s Christmas Eve in the forest.

“We’ve got to get ready for Santa Claus!”

Bear tells the other animals.

“Will there be presents?” squeaks Mouse.

“Santa’s not coming!” Badger grumbles.

“He doesn’t even know we’re here!”

Clever Bear has a plan. “We just have to believe,”

he tells his friends.

But will Santa really come?

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK :  While the other animals of the forest wonder if Santa even knows where they live, Bear has the faith of a child and believes that jolly ol’ elf will not forget them. Now it’s time to decorate the tree and patiently wait to hear the jingle of reindeer bells! Author, Steve Metzger, has created a cute tale young readers will be able to relate to and parents will find amusing. A nice addition to any library!
