Our Review

This charming Christmas story introduces Simon, a helpful snake who becomes Santa's unlikely assistant when the plump old elf can't squeeze down chimneys. As Santa's new delivery partner, Simon slithers down each chimney with presents, ensuring every child wakes up to gifts on Christmas morning. The narrative cleverly addresses a practical holiday dilemma that curious preschoolers often wonder about—how exactly does Santa manage all those tight spaces? With its gentle problem-solving approach, this Christmas tale offers a fresh perspective on Santa's magical operation while maintaining the season's wonder.

Young animal lovers will delight in Simon's unique abilities and the validation that even unconventional helpers can save the day. The story's emphasis on cooperation and using one's natural talents provides subtle character education alongside its holiday cheer. Children who enjoy stories about Santa's helpers or unconventional heroes will find particular joy in Simon's slippery adventures. This snake's successful mission delivers both Christmas magic and an inclusive message about everyone having something valuable to contribute.
