Book review — When Santa learned the Gospel

Book: When Santa learned the GospelAuthor: Simon Camilleri and Matt BoutrosPublisher: 10PublishingRetail Price: £3.99 (buy now)
Review by Sheila Stephen1 minute readNovember/December 2018, page 31

When Santa learned the Gospel

This is novel. This fiction book does what the title says and is a fable of how Santa first heard the gospel from an elf! The book has the look of a good read, in rhyme, for 2-4 year olds but some words are beyond this age group, although they are explained in the glossary. I am not sure about this mix of genres, and I wonder whether it might confuse children all the more about the fact and fiction of the Christmas story.
