About I See Santa Everywhere
Parents need to know that they may find this book very funny, but its brand of humor is not geared toward younger kids. And the Santa lookalikes are rather rough looking, sporting tattoos, smoking, and toothless. For those who are ready for its message, the story does capture the stress many kids feel at Christmas time, especially the part about being judged "naughty" or "nice" on Santa's list.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why the little boy feels so stressed out, how they all feel during the winter holidays, and what makes them feel that way. Do you remember the words to the song "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town?" How do you feel about that Christmas song? Why do you think the little boy took it so seriously? What do you think about the idea that Santa is keeping a list of who is good and who is bad? Families might also want to talk about all of the weird Santas that the boy saw. How are they like the Santa you imagine? How are they different?

Questionable Material
I saw the cover of this book online from our library and decided to check it out. I wish I would have looked at it before I read it to my 6 and 8 year old. It has Santa smoking a pipe, getting a tattoo and showing a bum crack. To me it was inappropriate for my children. I think it was sending the wrong message. The idea was original, but executed poorly.
