This is a delightful book about a delightful person and place, and I think most kids would love it. I also think most parents (and grandparents) would love the way it imparts not just information, but understanding, without being preachy or school-bookish at all. That it is also a coloring book makes it even more fun for the little ones and even a better buy for parents (and grandparents). I don't want to give away the story, but it gives children a fresh insight into the Christmas story, as only a doting grandfather could do it. Maybe the best thing is that it "transports" kids away from the cartoons and television commercials of the season, and back to the true meaning of the holiday. I keep coming back to the word "delightful" and I guess that is my review in a single word.
