Crighton's cute tale about learning to cope with anxiety and muster courage is peppered with bright, uncredited digital illustrations. The work offers an entertaining and fun new twist on a Christmas story that will give young readers useful tools to deal with stressful situations. An enjoyable tale for children who want to be a bit braver. - Kirkus Review Crighton teaches kids how to feel confident and gives them the safety net of the Christmas Spryte. The story ends on a positive note after everything goes so well that everyone is complimenting his mom and proud of how confident he looks. The Christmas Spryte Encounter: Picture with Santa is a great read for parents to share with their children to spark discussion about Santa and to prepare them before the holiday season to help them overcome their anxieties. - Hollywood Book Review The Christmas Spryte Encounter: Picture with Santa is certainly a book in which children will love to read, or be read to, over-and-over again. The more times readers page this book, the more enjoyment all will gain. Even after a few readings, I found myself still chuckling at the Santa smells like moth balls and he has onion breath comment, and began to even memorize the rhymes. This book is definitely one not to miss, and will make a great gift - even best during the Christmas season! - Pacific Book Review
