A wonderful Christmas book. This story was a resounding success with my boys, the end met with cries of "again, again!" The illustrations are bright, colourful & fun. Sid & Shelly are wonderful characters, super approachable for children. This is a fantastic little story, a great bedtime read & a book I'll be looking to gift this Christmas * NetGalley Reviewer *

Santa Jaws is a festive themed book with a nice rhyming flow [...] It is written in a similar style to the popular Julia Donaldson books which makes it easy to read out loud; and the children tend to stay attentive throughout with the rhyming patterns * Toddle About *
