About the author
Judy Delton
128 books14 followersBorn on May 6th in St. Paul, Minnesota, Judy Delton lived in her hometown for most of her life. She wrote more than one hundred books for children, including the popular Pee Wee Scouts series, which sold more than seven million copies. Her writing was often compared to Beverly Cleary or Carolyn Haywood for her ability to capture the essence of childhood.
For many years, Ms. Delton taught writing classes in her home. Today, those writers are having their own books published and remember her forthright instruction and critique with appreciation. Many writers have benefited from her handbook, The 29 Most Common Writing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.
Ms. Delton had four children and decided to quit teaching so she could stay home and raise them. Writing prolifically was her way of supporting her family. She died very suddenly of a blood infection in December of 2001. Her legions of friends and all those she taught were greatly saddened.

Read this book with my son as part of our Christmas in July week of preschool (it’s week 1 million of unplanned homeschooling. Gotta keep it fresh...with bribes). What I did not recall is that one of the central plot points of this book revolves around a boy who is a “baby” for believing is Santa Claus which is, for a 4 year old, not ideal. My son must now think it is one of those rare books that occasionally calls for three minutes of silence and frantic page turning instead of actual reading of words.

A book for young kids where they say Santa isn’t real?! Are you kidding me? I was reading this aloud to young kids and had to quickly skip an entire section so as not to ruin the magic of Christmas. And why does the one wealthy, snooty girl have to be the only character who is Jewish? Stereotype much?

I liked this book because the children are genuinely trying to navigate the holiday season. The Wee Scouts are caroling, making gifts, celebrating Hanukkah, and arguing about whether Santa exists. My favorite part was the Snow statues in the yard that they made for their scout leader after she had her new baby. This book is for older children, but it is quite dated. Enjoy.

Do not read this to children who believe in Santa. It will ruin the magic of Christmas for them.
