Santa Claws A Scary Christmas to All Hardcover – Picture Book, September 21, 2006

Happily added this to our crate of holiday books this year. I love all things illustrated by Gris Grimly, and the story is a pretty quick fun read, so this slightly odd creepy Christmas book is perfect. Plus he’s a Native Nebraskan, with farmer grandparents, like me ;) so naturally that just makes it even better. This book is a must add to any Grimly lover’s collection.

Cute book. I was hoping to turn this book into a Christmas tradition with my six year old. Her response wasn't as enthusiastic as I would have hoped. But I enjoy the artwork and like it for myself.

Shipped quickly, in perfect condition and my son LOVED it! We are HUGE Gris Grimly fans and this is a wonderful addition to our collection!Thank you very much.

I love Gris Grimly artwork and my kids love the stories and the art so this book is a win/win for us.

Order this book for the illustrations, The Santa Claws book arrived when stated and was in the condition as stated. Thanks

Santa Claws offers weary holiday readers a gruesome Nightmare Before Christmas like alternative to the standard holiday fare. In this little tale we meet Mack & Zack two eager monster children preparing for Christmas and Santa (in his blood red suite and snake in his boot) will be along shortly. These boys are prepared, they've hung their smelly socks by the fire with care, the oozing blistertoe is hung, and the dead pine trees decorated and ready to go! Young readers will love this morbid little tale fully of macabre Christmas cheer...the only drawback is that it's extremely brief...there is minimal text and while the art is lovingly drawn and detail rich, the nearly monochromatic watercolor illustrations may not be well received by younger readers...but I think older kids (4-8) will get a kick out of this and it's something that beginner readers should have no trouble with at all. An added bonus are the "ads" on the endpapers...for gruesome things like Ear Wax Furniture Polish, Sludge Hair Dressing for Men, and Dog Breath Mouth Wash...it's a cute touch that I think kids will really enjoy! I give it four stars...I simply wish there was more of this gruesome little holiday story!

Otro más de Grimly, y como siempre, no decepciona. Para fans incondicionales, o de los que gusten de este tipo de literatura "infantil" un tanto siniestra.

Ah, Gris Grimly et Santa Claus pour les monstres! J'adore tout simplement. Des dessins très "beaux", si ce qualificatif peut être employé lol, une histoire adorable. L'un de mes ouvrages préférés avec Grimericks.

Very pleased!
