Santa Paws on Christmas Island

Title: Santa Paws on Christmas Island
By: Kris Edwards
Reviewer: Krista

The book Santa Paws is a very good book. It is about a dog named Santa Paws and his owner Gregory Callahan. I liked this book because it is more about real life than some other books. It starts out with Gregory wanting a snow day (don’t we all). During the snow day they go snow boarding and Santa Paws saves the day. Santa Paws saves the day a lot. Santa Paws got his name by helping people. He mostly helped people during Christmas time and that is why he got the name Santa Paws. Some of the main characters are Santa Paws-the Callahan’s dog, Gregory- the owner of Santa Paws, and Patricia- Gregory’s sister. I liked this book because it shows how helpful dogs can be. This book is a great Christmas time book and I enjoyed reading it.
