"An enjoyable story that I would likely have appreciated more if I lived in New York as it draws a great deal from that city's history and landmarks to tell its tale. The book provides an interesting way to teach about early American history in the context of a Christmas story."
"I'm a huge fan of Christopher Moore, author of Bloodsucking Fiends and The Stupidest Christmas Angel. I picked up this book figuring that it was an early work of his written in collaboration...and I was totally wrong. This is a completely different Christopher Moore. Still, I had the book in hand and kept reading. This is a charming novella told from the perpective of an African-American child in the 1960's listening to the tales of his grandfather about St. Nicholas and his friend Pete. The tale is rich in New York history and African and Native American culture. This is a good holiday book to share with kids to open their minds to the various cultural roots behind our traditions. It was nothing like the "other" Christopher Moore, but it was a delightful little discovery in its own right."
