Kirkus Reviews

Get Dressed, Santa! ( Oct. 1, 1996; 12 pp.; 0-448-41258-6): Getting dressed to go outside in the winter is a common ordeal for toddlers and preschoolers in cold climates. So is the inevitable disrobing for one final run to the bathroom, before the snow frolics begin. DePaola puts Santa through these familar rigors before his annual Christmas Eve ride, in this board book that's more about getting dressed than holiday traditions. Bubblicious curves edge this book's pages, echoing the pleasantly rotund drawings of Santa's bulging bag, belly, and behind.
