Auntie Claus and the Key to Christmas

BRAVO!! Elise Primavera has again created a modern Christmas classic. The sequel to Auntie Claus is beautifully illustrated and splendidly written. My children have loved all of her books, but these two are their favorites. Merry Christmas, Auntie Claus.

A Holiday Treat!

Another magical and beautifully illustrated book from Elise Primavera! I'm looking forward to more. Thanks for adding to our Christmas spirit!

Not To Be Missed Holiday Tale!!!

Kudos to Elise Primavera! Her follow-up to Auntie Claus, "Auntie Claus and the Key to Christmas", is as delightful and amusing a tale as her first. My grandaughter loved reading more of the wonderful adventures of Auntie Claus, the Bing Cherry Hotel and the Kringle's. Ms. Primavera's enchanting and whimisical illustrations will delight both children and parents alike. Her talent as both a storyteller and illustrator make this book a perfect addition to any child's library.

A New American Icon!

Great story! Great art! Great fun! Auntie Claus is the new american icon! This sequel to Elise Primavera's wonderfully imaginative "Auntie Claus", invites us back into the magical world of the Kringles. This time, Sophie's younger brother Chris continues the adventures, and what adventures they are! Taking the elevator ride of his life, Chris rockets to the North pole, only to find the gates locked! The Spam twins (love to hate them!) and the little dogs (love to love them!) are wonderful characters, exceeded only by the Prunes!Ms. Primavera's art is a rich, jewel-toned tapestry of color, movement and light, illustrating a world that will delight children of all ages as it reminds us that "Only the heart knows what is invisible to the eye."

SO MUCH FUN!

This sequel to "Auntie Claus" is fabulous! My kids and I loved the first book and "Auntie Claus and The Key to Christmas" is just as great! Even the website ... is unusal and loads of fun, with a quiz to see if the kids are on Santa's BB & G (Bad Boys and Girls) List. My kids look forward to checking Mr. Pudding's Newsflash from the North Pole everyday.Ms. Primavera's rendition of the North Pole is a dreamscape of color, snow, and absolutely wondrous strange. With a message that conveys the power of the invisible, it is a Christmas story to be read year after year!
