A New Christmas Tradition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I gave this book to my young cousins and neighbors for Christmas this past year, and it has been a big hit with all of them! Mrs. Claus Takes a Vacation is a beautiful book that tells a lovely and original story. The illustrations are very detailed and clever (it's fun to spot the reindeer) and introduce children to new places as well (Mrs. Claus eating sushi in Japan is particularly cute, and the Lithuanian folk dance spread is charming!). I highly recommend this book as a wonderful Christmas gift that is sure to be read year after year!
A fun adventure in this different holiday story.

Charming pictures full of clever details, plus a glimpse of other cultures. The picture of the Taj Mahal is particularly beautiful!

With sweetness and sympathy, the author-illustrator gives Mrs. Claus a chance to shine in this lovely holiday book. Hard-working homemakers in particular will enjoy sharing this story about what happens when Mrs. Claus decides she needs a break from taking care of the homefront--that she wants to see the world, too. What she sees and what Santa does while she's away makes for wonderful comedy, with just the right touch of longing. A sweet, tender Christmas treat.
Love it!
