Santa's parents think their little one is absolutely wonderful, even though he has a booming voice instead of a baby's gurgle, loves to stand in front of the refrigerator, gives his birthday presents away, trains his hamsters to pull a matchbox sleigh ... and has an unusual interest in chimneys. The adorably funny portrait of an oddball kid who fulfills his destiny - and two very proud parents.

From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1—From the time he was born, Santa is a bit of a special child. From a booming laugh as a baby to a marked preference for red and cold weather as a toddler to the habit of rewrapping and giving away his presents, his ways set him apart from other children. Still, his parents adore him and know that someday he'll become something amazing—maybe a fireman, with all that red? Given his lifestyle choices, his eventual career as Santa Claus is the perfect one, as far as his proud parents are concerned. Santa as a youngster is a strapping, blond, cheerful lad, while his doting parents are plump and smiley—in one scene, his mom wears a cheerful sundress and hat while his dad sports a polo shirt and sandals with white knee socks. VERDICT A fond, reassuring look at the eccentric childhood of a much-beloved holiday figure.—Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library

How did he become the jolly elf who delivers presents to all the children in the world? An imaginative and charming tale about what Santa was like as a baby and a small child. Santa stars as a cute baby with a gorgeous Ho,ho,ho (no baby babbling for him) before becoming a toddler/young child who got even more enjoyment out of giving his toys and presents away than receiving him. He loved red and wanted to wear it all the time. He had a best friend who was short who loved making toys. Even though they were different, they we accepted by all the other kids. Santa's parents go through what all parents do in trying to figure out what he will become as he grows older. Of course they are thrilled when he grows up and becomes exactly what he is, the wonderful Spirit of Christmas, Santa Claus. A Christmas story about Santa for any and all to add to their bookshelves.

By Paul Mastin Wal-Mart started putting Christmas trees on display weeks ago, so I guess it's not too early for a Christmas book! Linda Bailey has added a new title to the every-growing list of Christmas books, When Santa Was a Baby. Along with illustrator Genevieve Godbout, Bailey takes us back to Santa's childhood. He was an exceptional baby, with merry dimples and a nose like a cherry. He enjoyed giving his birthday presents away to children in the neighborhood. He showed an interest in fireplaces, extreme cold, flying reindeer, and always insisted on wearing the color red.Godbout's illustrations look great, giving an "instant classic" feel to the book. Bailey's text is full of references to traditional Santa lore. I was, however, left unsatisfied with the transition from "Santa as a child" to "Santa as we all know and love him." One moment, Santa's in high school, wearing his red jacket, with a sack slung over his shoulder. The next moment, "he followed his childhood dreams," setting up shop at the North Pole. I know it's a children's book, but that still seemed like a huge jump with no explanation.Maybe I'm quibbling. I do like When Santa Was a Baby. I'm just not sure it will work its way into a list of Christmas favorites to be read again and again.Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

It's the story of Santa, from a normal point of view: parents had a kid an discover the child's personality as they grow up. simple, right? Not for these parents! From the very beginning, they know little Santa is different. He's always happy, hates the cold, love to laugh in a particular fashion... This book is so cute, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to give it to my Ewoks or not! I initially bought it for them, but the bright colors, the Norman Rockwell-like illustrations; it's got everything I love in a children's book. My babies are so lucky I love them so!
