Publisher Description
East meets North in North Pole Ninjas, a yuletide call-to-arms to save the spirit of Christmas.
You may not know that Santa has a team of special elves, selected for their ability to help carry out top-secret missions that are all about helping, giving, caring, and listening. Anyone who reads this book is called upon to help carry out those top-secret missions with a bit of stealth and an open heart. The gorgeously illustrated picture book retells the legend of the North Pole Ninjas for new recruits. After reading the book, readers can print their own Ninja missions to carry out.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Poet Gregson (All the Words Are Yours) and newcomer Linden encourage children to perform holiday acts of kindness in this book-and-plush package. The plush figure is of Santa's wise sensei, whose North Pole Ninjas "use their Christmas spirit/ to care for others' needs." Thibodeau (Goblin Hood) contributes warmly lit, cinematic scenes of the ninja elves at work that give the book the feel of a holiday TV special. The rhymes can get a bit convoluted or vague ("Stay hidden and stay quiet/ when shoveling that snow./ Secretly you'll save Christmas/ no footprints where you go"), but the more than 40 "missions" to be completed should keep children busy doing good deeds throughout the holidays. All ages.
