"The illustrations tell much more of Santa’s dilemma than the words alone do, which totally adds to the fun of the story. Varied visual perspectives and delightful renderings of well-known favourite Australian animals, make this the perfect Christmas gift for small people" - Kids' Book Review.
"Written in rhyming couplets, it is fun to read aloud. Young readers are likely to enjoy the rhythm of the story and may anticipate the end rhymes. Pleasingly, a smattering of new vocabulary is also introduced, such as ‘askew’, ‘scuttled’, ‘grimaced’, ‘sheepishly’ and ‘defeated’" - The Children's Book Council of Australia.
