review 1: I was so excited to see that Jan Brett had a new holiday book out for children this fall. She is such a talented author/illustrator. This book looked so cute, I even pre-ordered it.In this story it's the first Christmas Eve for "Little Snow", and his older brother, "Big Snowshoe" tells him that the "Animal's Santa" comes tonight. He tells Little Snow that none of the other animals know who the Santa is but in the morning they always find presents like, a bell, a puzzle toy, a heart-shaped wishing stone or even a stack of acorns.Little Snow finds this hard to believe and thinks his big brother is fooling him. As the story continues, each animal tries to imagine who Santa might be. It's now time to snuggle into their dens for the night and she what happens in the mornin... moreg......No footprints in the snow? Who could Santa be? Look up above and gifts begin to fall from the sky, with a special wish from a special Santa wishing all a very Merry Christmas.The story is special, the beautiful illustrations pure delight and each panel engages the little ones as the other animals tell about Christmas past. A keeper for your personal collection. Children and adults will love this one.
review 2: This is another lovely book by author Jan Brett. It is almost Christmas and the forest animals are telling little Snow rabbit all about the animals' Santa. They are all guessing what kind of animal they think it is. The decorative side pictures are showing little rodent elves (I later read in the authors notes that they are lemmings) are preparing gifts. Will the animals find out who their animal Santa is this year? The illustrations are very nice and I love that all the animals have vests or sweaters on. So cute! less

Although I found the storyline a bit wanting, the illustrations, as always, are an absolute joy.

Gorgeous illustrations. Perfect for kids when they tell you their friends say Santa isn't real.

The illustrations rate way higher than the actual storyline in this Jan Brett book.
