Review: if you can, please help me. if anyone knows if this is the santa clause story about an orphan boy in a small town who grows to become santa. The story I'm thinking of includes a sleigh race. It tells how the holly berry got it's name, why santa is fat, and the reason for stocking.

Summary: A Fresh View on Santa Claus
Review: If you wish to merge the magic of Santa Claus with the miracle of Christmas, then look no further. Mr. Prokop has woven a beautiful story that does just this, for young and old alike. "The True Story of Santa Claus" tells the story of a young child on Christmas Eve who is anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival. When he meets Santa himself, he is given an unexpected gift - Santa Claus' own story. Through the medium of this brief story, children can be introduced to the true meaning of Christmas. The words are simple and clear, but not simplistic. The illustrations are crisp and eye-catching. In short, this book puts the "saint" back in Santa and the "Christ" back in Christmas. It can be read by a young reader and is especially ideal to be read outloud by a grown-up with a child sitting close at hand. An excellent read.

Summary: Paul Prokop is written a great book
Review: It was very enjoyable to read Paul Prokop's book (The True Story of Santa Claus) to my 3 year-old and wife the other night. It was not only entertaining, but very educational as well.

The pictures are great too. They reflect exactly what is going on in the story.

You can tell that Paul has a big heart and is a great father/husband to his children/wife. It shows in his writing.

Great job Paul! Keep writing books like "The True Story of Santa Claus" and we'll keep buying them and reading them to our children/family.

I'd love to meet you and your family some day! God Bless you and your family. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
