By Christi Love

Reading level: Ages 4-8
Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky

Every year millions of letters to Santa reach the North Pole. Many are requests for presents. And many letters have questions about Santa, the elves and workshops, the reindeer, and, of course, the North Pole.

Now Mrs. Claus has her own gift for you - for the first time ever, she's taking a break from her very busy schedule to answer real questions from children of all ages. Join her on a tour of the North Pole and learn some of the best kept secrets of Christmas from the person who knows it all - Mrs. Claus!

* How does Santa get into my house if we don't have a chimney?
* What is Santa's favorite kind of cookie?
* Where do elves come from?
* Can all reindeer fly?

Beautifully illustrated by David Wenzel, bestselling illustrator of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, this picture book reveals the answers to the questions children always ask - and they're all answered by the woman who knows the most: Mrs. Claus!

Review

Just in time for the holidays, comes along this delightful book that just begs to be read! To be frank, I myself looked forward to reading this book and I wasn't disappointed! The book answered some of the questions swirling around in my own mind, rather than that of my toddler who just knows Santa brings gifts. He's too young for questions, but when they come, I look forward to sharing this book with him. He did sit with me as I read this, and he was delighted by the bold illustrations and we had fun identifying the various objects in the pictures.

It's a magical book to be sure, and if you know a kid who comes up questions about Santa that perplex you, then be sure to get a copy of this book! It'll make an ideal gift for both parent and child!
