PreS—This sturdy addition to Biggs's series finds Santa Claus delivering presents by land, sea, and air. Accompanied by a single reindeer, he hauls around a huge round bag of presents in vehicles that are common and those that are a bit unconventional. Each one is identified in a single word on the page, such as "snowmobile," "canoe," "bus," "bicycle," "helicopter," "sailboat," "truck," "motorcycle," "airplane," and "speedboat." Little ones will enjoy the bright, humorous cartoons that highlight Santa's offbeat attire (helmet, goggles, life jacket) as he uses the different modes of transportation. Christmas fun for youngsters who never tire of books about machines.—Teri Markson, Los Angeles Public Library
The latest board book in Biggs’s transportation-celebration series features a winning formula: Santa, vehicles, and silly humor. The festive spreads showcase Saint Nick and his reindeer copilot traveling in style on land, over water, and in the air. The old standards are here: bus, bicycle, helicopter, sailboat, truck, motorcycle, airplane. Santa also branches out, speeding across the pages on a snowmobile, in a canoe, and on water skis. The pictures pop with color; the animated scenes are detailed but not too busy for the intended audience, who will delight in the visual jokes. This stocking stuffer will get a lot of mileage. kitty flynn
