Summary: One of the cutest Christmas books in years
Comment: As an avid fan of Christmas stories, I found this book at a bookstore last year and was so delighted by it that it followed me home. Stephen Krensky comes up with the perfect resume for Santa, which explains how he is able to do so many amazing things. Climbing chimneys is no problem for a former Chimney sweep and delivering packages is simple for a former Postal worker. The book goes on to explain why those previous jobs did not work out for Santa. He gained too much weight as a cook and was too friendly to the reindeer as a zookeeper. After meeting the elves, who are toy makers, Santa is immediately hired to deliver their toys. The story even goes on to explain why Santa uses reindeer instead of polar bears. It is a wonderfully silly story for the whole family.

Summary: swell Santa story
Comment: Before Santa Claus became, well, Santa Claus, he was a young man trying to find rewarding and satisfying work. Who knew? He tried jobs such as zookeeper (where he learned to love reindeer), postal worker (where he decided to deliver packages at night, to save time!), and chimney sweep (where he never got dirty, prompting suspicion that he wasn't doing his work).
This book takes NOTHING away from the traditional Santa Claus stories... it merely fills in the details about what Santa did as a young man, before becoming the rotund, jolly, white-bearded Christmas giftbringer that we love so much.
The illustrations are humorous and playful; the text is easy to understand. My son is almost 3 years old, and he loves this book! I think _How Santa Got His Job_ is the perfect compliment to Clement Moore's _The Night Before Christmas_-- read it to your child, and see for yourself. It's a treat.
