"This is the perfect book to add to your Christmas book collection. My 4 year old thought it was super cute and funny. Every year come Christmas time I will be getting this book out to add a little humor and perspective on the other side of things with the help of Mrs. Claus. I think a Mom can especially enjoy this as more often than not our daily work goes unnoticed.

"The story is fairly simple and meant for younger children as a sweet story, more to read to them than to read on their own. I have to give it props for using one of my favorite words "hullaballoo" ...I love the idea of Mrs. Claus playing a bigger role in Christmas and in Santa's life." - 5minutesformom.com

"Behind every successful man stands a great woman, and this cute story for young children recounts the hard work Mrs. Claus must undertake when Santa falls ill on Christmas Eve. (Personally, I'm quite sure that Mrs. Claus does more than her share of the work even when her hubby is in good health.)" - thismomloves.blogspot.com/

"The short text, fun pictures, and underlying message (Mrs. Claus is really a stand-in for whatever adult in a child's life makes sure that the details are taken care of) make this a decent choice for a holiday storytime." - School Library Journal
