Old Saint Nick. I really enjoyed reading this together with my 10 year old son. It’s good to see history told in a way that’s not common nowadays. The book is quick and to the point with great explanations and the definition in italics on the bottom of the page is clear. That’s helpful!
My son pointed out he loved that the illustrator did not have much on the faces. I asked him why did he think that she did that? He didn’t know. In responding to own my question was that it shows you to use your imagination on what the reader would think their emotions could be. The emotions are left up to the imagination of the individuals. That is a very unique way to inspire a child to think about the story deeper and develop the characters. Bravo! I love the book.

It’s an ok book if you re ready to tell your children the truth about Santa Claus. I do not like how it is added in that soon it spread and everyone was playing Santa for other people by leaving them gifts. It also only truly mentions the st nick character giving gold to a family. No gifts no toys. It also mentions the girl were about to become slaves. It does also mention st Nicholas being a Jesus follower but it doesn’t blend that well into the story to me. The graphics and pictures are very drab and gloomy. It does give factual information at least partially. I have not been able to verify the part about slavery but I also could have done without that drab fact especially since it’s written for children on the subject it is. It also mentions st nick hitting someone and Jesus being killed. This is not all appropriate in one children’s book even if the kids know of some of the things from the Bible.
