Description
When I was (a lot) younger, my parents read to me stories by Sandra Boynton, and I remember hearing some songs that go along with her stories, too. When I saw her newest book, A Dance with Santa Claus, I wanted to check it out because I had read her books in the past, and because it’s an appropriate story for the season (winter/Christmas); I also found the song that goes with this story, which made the reading experience different than if I were just to read it. Particularly special for the season, I recently watched the movie “Elf,” and when I learned that the story’s singer is Zooey Deschanel (a main character in Elf), I could picture everything more clearly, and it improved my overall enjoyment. The story in itself is more appropriate for younger readers, as there are few words on each page, and it’s repetitive. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and everything combined makes this a perfect Christmas story to read (and listen to) each year.
