Who is Santa?

I read Who is Santa? And how did he get to the North Pole by Stephen W. Bigalow
I received a free copy by Profit Publishing Co. through NetGalley
3 stars

This is a story about how Santa made his way up to the North Pole. It is almost written like a nonfiction, with sections that answer certain questions. At the same time, it is a story. You really can't switch from section to section. You must read it as a story. Each chapter is often only a page or two, and there are illustrations to accompany it.

I liked the story. The writing style wasn't my favorite, and it seemed a bit choppy, but the concept was good. The illustrations were not appealing to me at all. I think it would have been better to make this just a chapter book for young readers and not include actual pictures, maybe just some graphics. I'm sorry to say, but the illustrations really ruined this one for me.

Note: I tried to compare the illustrations in my copy to those of the finalizes book, but was unable to do so. Since I downloaded this after it was published, I am going on the assumption that it is the final artwork. If this turns out to be wrong, I will change my review accordingly.
