In ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (and Santa Needed A Poo) by Paul Wennersberg-Løvholen, children and parents are asleep as they wait for Santa Claus to bring them their presents. They hung up their stockings and left out cookies, while the elves in the North Pole were rushing to get everything together for Santa’s flight. Ignoring his wife's words, Santa Claus left on his flight without going to the bathroom first. He traveled through Australia, Japan, and Norway, eating all the snacks he could along the way, and soon not only was he full, but he needed to go. The only problem was that he had no idea where he could take a poop. Unable to find a proper place, Santa had an accident and no longer felt so merry anymore. Having to take off his suit, Santa continued with his delivery without any clothes. During one of his present deliveries, he found two children staring at him in shock. Despite no clothes, they knew who it was and were happy to see Santa Claus. When he told the kids what happened, they didn’t hesitate and proceeded to help him find some clothes. He picked out a pretty dress that the kids said looked perfect on him, and then he was on his way to finishing the rest of his deliveries.
I thought ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (and Santa Needed A Poo) by Paul Wennersberg-Løvholen was a hilarious take on Clement C. Moore's poem. There was a comical feel to it that children will definitely enjoy. I also think it teaches children a valuable lesson. Accidents happen and they can happen to anyone, even someone like Santa Claus. It also shows how meaningful being kind can be. The brother and sister who caught Santa naked didn’t have to help him, but they did and it meant a lot to him. The illustrations are also beautifully done and fit with the story perfectly. ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas (and Santa Needed A Poo) is definitely a great read for the holiday season.
