The picture book chronicles the legend of the North Pole Ninjas (Santa’s secret helpers that carry out good deeds and call upon new “recruits” to go undercover and complete thoughtful, heartwarming secret tasks.  The boxed set comes with

  • The North Pole Ninja picture book
  • A Plush “sensei” Ninja
  • 50 Top Secret Missions for your ninja recruits to complete.

Missions are sweet and simple – like

  • Pay one nice compliment to each person you see today -be honest and kind
  • Lasso up your old clothes and donate them to a charity.  Help other kids stay nicely dressed this winter.
  • Sit and chat with a new friend at lunch.  Make them feel happy.

It is nice to help children focus on helping and giving to others instead of receiving presents!  I received a free copy of the North Pole Ninjas to review and my children have loved it!  We have delivered a meal to a friend who needed some extra TLC, and we wrote letters to someone who has not heard from us in a while.  The kids love to pick out a secret mission and head out with their Ninja to do good deeds!

North Pole Ninjas empowers children to take action and makes it fun for them to give back to their friends, families and communities.

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading, Mrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.

    This looks like fun! We work on social skills all the time. This cute book would open a door to talk about kindness and compliments with my special needs kids. Love it!

    1. That is such a good point! My kids definitely love the concept and looking for new things to do to be kind to people. I frequently deliver meals to people who have had babies or are sick or whatever and they often complain because it takes time to drive and drop it off… but, it was so nice when it was one of the little tasks and they were like…yeah, that is a nice thing to do! I am glad the Ninja can reinforce good things for them because many times they don’t want to learn it from mommy!

  3. I would love to try this idea with our whole school and do class missions. What a fun idea for promoting good values and kindness to others!

  4. I think this is such a wonderful alternative to Elf on a Shelf which I refuse to bring into my classroom. I find most people use that nowadays as an opportunity to do naughty things instead of its original meaning to watch a child exhibit good behavior. But this ninja will have the children do good deeds and is what I promote all year long, not just at Christmas.

    1. Yes, sadly I think the Elf has become Naughty for many people. I am definitely happy to find an alternative… you can always do both! But, I love that the North Pole Ninja does have specific, easy missions for the children can do so that they can see how easy it is to do good and make someone smile.
