(2) K-3 Illustrated by Geneviève Godbout. In this Santa origin story, a child booms "HO, HO, HO!" in the cradle, delivers presents as a toddler, trains hamsters to pull a miniature sleigh. His parents speculate about his future: e.g., might wearing red mean he'll be a firefighter? Readers will enjoy watching Santa grow up to be exactly who he is. Warm, textured illustrations enrich this humorous, love-suffused tale.
