I Wish Santa Would Come by Helicopter
PreS–As Maxie eats dinner and gets ready for bed on Christmas Eve, he keeps making wishes (that Santa would come by helicopter, that Santa could help trim the family tree) and his mother has a ready response each time ("Then, Maxie, who would drive his sled?" "Who would trim Santa's tree?"). Although the illustrations are cheerful and childlike, the boy's wishes and his mother's replies are uninteresting, and the sight of Santa flying by in a helicopter on Christmas morning does nothing to liven things up. An uninspired offering.–E. M.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
