[.ca] Santa's Snow Cat (ISBN 0060005408)

A christmas classic:
I purchased this book for my daughter after falling in love with Anne Mortimer's illustrations in Pussycat's Christmas. As expected the illustrations are beautiful and crisp and will be especially appreciated by cat lovers. This is a lovely and quiet holiday bedtime story.

A Must For Christmas:
This book is a must for Christmas, and anyone who loves New York. Snow Cat falls out of Santa's sleigh one Christmas and is dropped into New York. Unhurt she visits different landmarks such as the Twin Towers, Rockefeller Center, and more. Snow Cat meets up with many "look-alike" Santa's, but never hers. Eventually Santa finds Snow Cat and brings her back to the North Pole. This book is beautifully illustrated, and a must for any cat lovers or anyone looking for a new Christmas story.

A Christmas Gift - A New York Keepsake:
This beautiful book feature's Santa's favorite kitty, Snow Cat, who has snowy white fur and jade green eyes. She is a little trickster and likes to stow away with Santa by snuggling down in his deep pockets. However, on Christmas Eve when she is discovered by Santa, she accidentally falls out of the sleigh and lands somewhere in New York City. Unhurt, Snow Cat takes a tour of the city, encountering lots of look-alike Santas but not the real one until she is eventually located by Santa and taken safely home. The story is told with lyrical descriptions and has colorful, evocative illustrations rich in detail that include major New York City landmarks such as Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State Building, and the twin towers of the recently destroyed World Trade Center, among others. This is a really wonderful little book and if careful explanations are shared with children who may be confused to see a picture of Santa's sleigh perched atop one of the WTC towers, I think it makes not only a lovely Christmas story to be treasured but also a wonderful keep-sake.
