Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( )

Well this was just downright DELIGHTFUL. ( )

This book is a cute reversal of the "I don't believe in Santa" idea. In this cute picture book, Santa does not believe in Harold. Even some of his friends don't believe that Harold exists. He thinks his mother writes his Dear Santa letter and his father leaves out the milk and cookies. Even the child who sat on his lap last Christmas was a fake Harold. Meanwhile, Harold is not sure if he believes in Santa. Both Santa and Harold have an idea to see if the other exists. A surprising ending to a cute story. The illustrations are reminiscent of an older style of image with lots of colours and details. A wonderful addition to any Christmas library.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada, Tundra Books in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Thank you. ( )

The day Santa Stopped believing in Harold by Maureen Fergus, illustrated by Cale Atkinson and published by Tundra Books distributed by Penguin Random House Canada is a lovely children's book that I am sure will entertain your children.

Yes because in this case Santa starts to be upset and precisely with a kid.

He starts to telling his perplexities to his wife, Mrs.Santa: "I don't believe Harold exists. I think that it's all a mental manipulation of his dad."

According to Santa, Harold's dad eats his breakfast.

According to him Harold is a fruit of Harold's dad who writes the letter to him for receiving some gifts.

Mrs. Santa perplexed. After all that ones are children's gifts...

The news spread everywhere. "Santa don't believe anymore at children???" Nah: just at Harold's existence.

Reindeer involved in this process with a truly depressed Santa.

The Christmas Eve, as always Santa presents to all the good children of the world various presents and then stopped by at Harold's house, but for trying to discover if Harold exists...

Well I don't want to tell you all this story but I am sure you will find the story more than adorable!

For all the children of this world, a great gift for this Christmas!

I find the cover truly nice!

I thank NetGalley for this book.

We won a free review copy of this book through LibraryThing! It is a very clever, funny book with fantastic illustrations. I think it is suited for older children, who are maybe experiencing their first inklings of disbelief in Santa - my preschool age girls were a little too young to appreciate the humor, and they still believe in Santa, so I didn't want to give them any reason to doubt so early. This will be a Christmas storybook we put away for later, but I really did think it was a funny, different take on the typical Santa tale. ( )
