Kringle Tony Abbott 9780439749428 Books

Actually, this is the third Kringle I've purchased. I am 68 years old, and this is a book for middle school age children, but glancing at the opening pages,I was pulled into its magic. I have enjoyed it thoroughly --- three readings in the past 4 years!

It's the story of the boy who becomes Santa Claus, and WHY. It has all the prerequisites for an adventure story: a half-grown orphaned boy named Kringle --- after the sound a tiny bell makes --- whose wise old grandmother is kidnapped by terrible goblins who mean to take over the world. Barely escaping himself, he stumbles upon a beautiful land of strong, generous elves who band with Kringle to rid the world of goblins. Their numerous grand adventures along the way are imaginative and different. I cheered them on the whole way!

I've given this book twice as gifts to kids, and advised their moms to read it with them. One, at least, is, and whispered to me as she came into church, "That's a great book!"

Kringle Tony Abbott 9780439749428 Books Reviews

A unique, high fantasy look at the origin of Santa with a healthy dose of spirituality mixed in. There's also some nice action. Definitely worth a read.
This is now among my favorite Christmas stories of all time. Tony Abbott combines the literal Christmas with myth and legend and presents a masterpiece. I liked it so much I bought 9 copies as Christmas presents!
This book is rich in detail, mood and has the feel of an old, timeless epic story. This is a good book for parents to expose their children to first before the great quest stories out there in fantasy fiction.

The author has taken complex story elements and made them accessible without writing down to kids. This is a chapter book parents will enjoy reading with their kids.
Reading this to my kids. They are loving it.
I am very much enjoying this book. Not a traditional view of Santa, but fun nonetheless.
This is my absolute favorite holiday story. I read it ever year. I love how it is able to blend Yule and Christmas so effortlessly while including a wonderfully imaginative origin story for Santa. Great for all ages and wonderful read aloud story.
One of my family's favorite Christmas Reads. We read it (aloud) as a family each and every year. (My son even named his dog after the main character!!). At first glance it may seem a bit simplistic, but honestly it is a beautiful story of the human spirit and all the complexities it contains. The mixture of history and fantasy is intriguing and fascinating. Don't miss out on this wonderful tale!
