寫信給耶誕老公公

by Melissa Stanton

　　耶誕節過後寫信給耶誕老公公，
　　會發生什麼事呢？

　　艾娃對北極的生活充滿好奇，寫信問了耶誕老公公好多問題。如果你和她一樣幸運，說不定也能收到耶誕老公公的回信呢！

　　在本書裡，有艾娃和耶誕老公公每月一次的書信往來，內容溫馨又有趣。從這些信件中，你可以看到耶誕老公公在耶誕節以外的平常生活，比如說：除夕夜時，耶誕老公公會很早上床睡覺；耶誕老公公不認識復活節兔子，但認識牙仙；耶誕老公公和耶誕老婆婆在北極會種花和種菜；耶誕老公公很喜歡游泳，在忙碌的耶誕工作開始之前，都會先放個暑假；耶誕老公公不過生日……等等，讓大小讀者透過一幅幅繽紛細緻的插畫，得以一探耶誕老公公的世界。

　　本書為作者瑪莉莎的第一本童書創作，她以女兒艾娃的真實經驗作為創作靈感。艾娃在六歲那年的耶誕節過後，曾寫信給耶誕老公公表示感謝，並且問他為什麼沒吃餅乾。瑪莉莎看到女兒寫信給耶誕老公公，從中獲得靈感，寫出一則又一則溫暖的節慶小故事，也讓我們重溫「相信」的意義！
