About the author
Kerry McQuaide
15 books55 followersI love writing and illustrating stories for kids!
Stories are fun, but it’s more than that...each book a child reads is a doorway into understanding more about herself and more about the world she lives in.
I want to create those doorways—to laughter, to learning, to imagined worlds, and most importantly... to connecting with each other.

Midge and Moo make me smile. I have enjoyed each book in the Midge and Moo adventures. I look forward to sharing this series with my grandchildren. I'm sure each turned page will get more giggles than the last.
Midge and Moo are back in Book Five, the last book in the series, and this time they're writing daily letters to Santa, filled with wonderful Christmas wishes. There's also a lesson or two cleverly tucked into the ending, a lesson all children should learn to do.
I highly recommend each one of these adorable books. Ages zero-five. Sweet and simple. Fantastically illustrated with bold, bright colors. Small children will easily comprehend the friendship shared between a little girl and her beloved stuffed animal.

This was a quick and lovely illustrated book about Midge and her letters to Santa and how he accommodates her wishes! Made me chuckle, laugh out loud and read out loud to my husband! Reminds of the “Letters to God” books written maybe in the ‘70’s!

“Letter to Santa: a Christmas book” is book 5 of “The Adventures of Midge and Moo” series. Midge and Moo are back to charm your child and you. If you remember, Midge and Moo are constant companions. They came home from the hospital together and have been best friends ever since Midge was two days old. Moo, of course, is Midge’s black-and-white toy cow. They have had many adventures together.
As Christmas is approaching, Midge writes quite a few letters to Santa asking for impossible gifts for herself and for Moo. She asks for long hair, a dragon, a castle, a rocket ship or a unicorn (To Santa: “p.s. Or a reindeer”).
Midge also writes to Santa to thank him for her new toys after Christmas. She says she loves her new toys. This is sweet and is also a good example for your child to thank those who give him/her gifts.
Then Midge asks Santa for a robot for next Christmas, the kind that picks up toys. Her mom has told her that good girls pick up their toys when they are finished playing.
This is a hilarious Christmas book. It will make you and your child laugh. The book is accompanied by the author’s colorful, stylized illustrations. My favorite is the one of Midge and Moo cuddling with an imaginary green dragon.
Note: Kerry McQuaide has both written and illustrated the books in this series. Each book of this series can stand alone and be enjoyed by itself, but it is fun to read the whole series to your child.

Instead of writing a Christmas list, this small child is writing letters to Santa, dating them December 1st, 8th, 9th... And instead of offering a well-planned list of expensive gifts, she’s asking for things that might place her, and her treasured toy, into a fairytale. Of course, not a scary fairytale, as she hastens to explain when Mom tells her dragons might not always be nice.
The illustrations have a nice blend of childish drawings, like pictures on the kitchen fridge, and brightly enticing images of child and toys. The requests follow a childishly logical path. And the conclusion’s fun. A Christmas book for all the year perhaps, and especially for that time of dreams before Christmas, or of messy bedrooms afterward.
Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy and I offer my honest review.

February 6, 2016 It's December and Midge decides she and Moo should begin their letter to Santa. Throughout the month, Midge and Moo write a series of letters explaining what they'd like to have. Midge has a vivid imagination and she's very smart too. Join Midge and Moo to find out what's next.
This book will help your child understand there are other children like them. Everyone has written a letter to Santa but in book, Ms. McQuaide shows us the need to write MANY letters to Santa. It's imaginative, colorful and beyond adorable. You children will ask you to read this one over and over.
I found no issues.
I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it should be Christmas all year long. ~Copy of book provided by author in exchange for a fair review~
