"We've Seen Santa" tells the story of a boy and a girl who sneak out of bed in hopes of seeing Santa.
Max:
"I try to stay awake for Santa all of the time but I never see him. I liked watching them see him. This book rhymes. I like that the book looked like it was colored with a crayon. They stayed in the lines pretty good. This is a good book to read at Christmas when Santa comes."

Wonderful Illustrations

Tiffany Higgins created a wonderful story about a childhood happiness in seeing Santa Claus. This story takes me back to the time when I was a child, so filled with happiness in the excitement of Christmas coming. The biggest fear was knowing that there were times your behavior wasn't the best and how would Santa think about leaving you presents and knowing your behavior was not good? The child was certain that a bad action would give Santa the reason to leave a lump of coal under the Christmas tree. So because of how you wanted presents under the tree, there would be Christmas cookies and milk on the table for Santa. And of course the child would never get caught in seeing Santa.
This picture book is easy to read and a preschooler will enjoy the simple words and the wonderful illustrations throughout the story. The preschooler can learn to read the story along with you and it will be a delight to add some creativity to encourage the child to read along with the adult. I think this book is an excellent story for the preschool age genre, the story is exciting and is just right for a storytelling family gathering on Christmas Eve night before the preschoolers are in bed. I would also suggest a family time activity in helping the preschooler bake the cookies and set out the milk for Santa, so the story can be brought to life. This story can be the beginning or ending of an exciting night.
Enjoyable Kids Book!
We've Seen Santa, by Tiffany A. Higgins, was a very enjoyable read. It explores every kid's fantasy-to hear a noise, check it out, and find Santa leaving presents under the tree. The rhyming flows nicely and has that certain bounce to it. I loved the pictures, especially the reactions on the brother and sister's faces. This book is a great Christmas story and should be a top choice for all parents. I look forward to more work from Mrs. Higgins. -Erika Talbot, author of The Three Sibling Adventures: What We Want To Be.
