Mrs Claus by Renee Price. Illustrated by Travis Price. (Affirm Press 2025). RRP $24.99. Hardcover picture book ISBN 9781922992994
Reviewed by Debra Williams
This is a delightful and fun book, taking a whimsical look behind the scenes at the North Pole. Whilst Santa Claus and the elves always seem to get the glory, nobody EVER seems to hear about Mrs Claus, who apparently, does almost EVERYTHING in preparation for the big Christmas delivery night, including training the elves and reindeer how to fly the sleigh!
With the clever rhyme and bright illustrations, this is sure to be a favourite with children aged 3-7 years. From the publisher: ‘Part love letter, part festive fun, Mrs Claus celebrates the unsung hero of Christmas. The multitasking, list-making, cocoa-fuelled legend behind the man in red.’
At
the end of the story, Santa and the elves plan a celebration for Mrs Claus
herself…’For Santa knows that he’s the one who gets all the applause. But
he’d be lost without the one and only Mrs Claus.’
