Priscilla and the Great Santa Search - Hardcover

Jocelyn and Nathaniel Hobbie are the daughter and son of Little, Brown's bestselling author/artist, Holly Hobbie. Jocelyn holds a B.F.A. from RISD and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Nathaniel is a writer and fine artist who works with metal and wood. He lives in Holyoke, Massachusetts. They've published four books together in the Priscilla series.

PreSchool-Grade 2–Pink-clad Priscilla's name is splashed across the cover in huge red glitter letters, and the kitschy cartoon artwork continues the red and pink overkill as the girl and her best friend head to the North Pole to meet Santa. Topknots and bows decorate the heads of these Kewpie dollish, always-fashionable little girls. They plan their trip, taking along their lapdog, tea set, and other necessities as they ski cross county due north. They meet some interesting creatures and endure a class-seven squall, but return home without a Santa sighting. The ever-effervescent duo seems satisfied with the hint of a reindeer-drawn sleigh in the background of one of the photos, but readers who have slogged through this journey described in singsong rhyme will be sorely disappointed.–Lisa Falk, Los Angeles Public Library
