BOOK NOOK REVIEWS: Here Comes Santa Cat by Deborah Underwood

TITLE: Here Comes Santa Cat

AUTHOR: Deborah Underwood

ILLUSTRATOR: Claudia Rueda

PUBLISHER: Dial Books For Young Readers, 2014

SYNOPSIS:

Cat took on a bunny in Here Comes the Easter Cat, but now Christmas is coming, and Cat has a hunch he’s not on Santa’s “nice” list. Which means? No presents for Cat. So he tries to be good, but children, it seems, aren’t wild for his brand of gift-giving. Still, Cat might surprise himself, and best of all, he may just get to meet the man in the red suit himself—and receive a holiday surprise of his own.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK : With so many great Christmas themed books at my local library, sometimes it’s hard to decide which book to review next. But not this time! Author Deborah Underwood creates a cute, whimsical tale where young readers follow Cat’s journey to redeem himself in Santa’s eyes and hopefully find a special something under the tree on Christmas morning! A great addition to any library!
