REVIEW

I’ve got a worn first edition that, since they were very young, I read to my kids every Christmas Eve before putting them to bed. Now, almost forty years later, I still do. My son the Marine even joined us for the reading on his computer when he was deployed overseas. None of the glitz of the movie. Just a simple, fantastically illustrated tale for all who truly believe.
