Bringing the Magic of Santa to Food Allergic Tots November 23, 2007
Alisa Marie Fleming
I gave this book to a friend who has two children with multiple food allergies. She doesn't have an Amazon account, but she was so thrilled with this book, that she wanted me to put up her review of it:
Christmas has always been special to me, so when the book arrived I eagerly gathered my son who is 4.5 yrs old and my daughter who will be 6. As I started reading the book, my children actually related to the story. Santa Claus has a dairy allergy and is in a dilemma on what to do Christmas Eve when delivering presents. Should he eat the cookies and milk and get sick or should he refrain and run the risk of upsetting so many children on Christmas? Jonathan who also has dairy allergies is struggling with the dilemma of leaving Santa cookies and milk made dairy free.
The book was well thought out. The author incorporated her children's and their friends' name' into many parts of the book. Santa's checklist had Alex and Ben's names on it, and Eric's name was on a note from Santa, and of course the story was about Jonathan who has food allergies.
Santa Claus is a magical illusion for so many children. Santa brings toys and grants special requests that only happen once a year for good little boys and girls. So the idea of Santa having allergies is something that could make a food allergic child's dream and image of their Santa more special. My children have asked me to read them this book several times in the past week. I am sure the closer we get to Christmas the more the requests will come for this story.
The only downfall to the book would be the size and structure of the material. The book is geared toward toddlers and small children who would love to pick up the book and view the pictures. The book's structure is not something that can with stand being man handled and tossed around as young children typically do. A smaller board-style book would stand up much better to those chubby little hands looking to sneak a peak at Santa and his elves. All in all, the book was a great read, something I would read over and over again to my children.
