★ "Cozier than a roaring fire and sweeter than milk and cookies, this earns its 'Christmas classic' stripes with flying colors." —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews

"Offering moments of abundance, laughter, and surprise, the creative duo’s assembly of classic yuletide elements gives readers a chance to encounter an old holiday anew—freshly through the eyes of its most iconic figure." STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly

"A feel-good holiday story that will warm hearts for Christmases to come. Holiday collections will welcome this gift." STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal

"Barnett’s wry text is full of affection for his characters, and Smith’s rich watercolor and gouache illustrations infuse both the outdoor North Pole and interior scenes with good cheer." STARRED REVIEW, The Horn Book

"It is hard to say which is more wonderful, Mr. Barnett’s droll and low-key narration or Mr. Smith’s soft, warm, humorous pictures. Warm and funny and delightful, Santa’s First Christmas is likely to become an annual read-aloud in families with young children." —Wall Street Journal
