Illustrated by
Ivan Gantschev.
Santa tells the forest animals why he celebrates Christmas by recounting the story of Jesus's birth. The text is sentimental but readable, and the connection made between the modern gift-giving celebration and the ancient story is one that many families will appreciate. Gantschev's paintings, using simple shapes and subdued colors, are soft and approachable.
