The perfect Christmas book! All you need to know about Santa Claus and his helpers, his reindeer, Mrs Claus and everything in between! It has Claus' diary, a page from the newspaper, a recipe for cookies and many more!

I recommend it!

A 5 Star Christmas book for every adult to have who has a little one going through the magical years of Christmas. This is a read aloud children’s book, but it is an interactive book too, so their little fingers can stay busy opening, flipping and turning.

Definitely the BEST CHRISTMAS book ever made! Sooooooo Not kidding. It is such a special, one of a kind, magical book! It jumps right into your heart and reminds you of all the magic this season brings! 🥰🎄

This book has pull out letters, and hidden compartments which share North Pole secrets, a peek into the mailroom, the magic encircling Santa’s sleigh and secrets surrounding Santa’s suit. It has factual information about the Arctic circle, Santa’s reindeers and the North Pole. It includes a Naughty or Nice list, Mrs. Claus’ cookie recipe and just so much more!

It is creatively penned which engages all readers, young and old. It has fold out pages and pop up features. It is a wonderful collection of whimsical and magical ideas and stories. We read it every single year. ❤️🥰

Absolutely, without a single doubt 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s!!!

Although we've had this book a long time (It's addressed inside to C & A...pre-L!) , and C says it's one of her all time favorites for Christmas....I can't say I've ever read it all the way through before today. It gets 5 stars for the level of thought and detail put into describing all the processes and surroundings of Santa. Plus excellent 3-D pull outs to enjoy as well. I loved reading it out loud today with L!

What a fun, detailed interactive book that let's the reader in on Santa's best-kept secrets. With flaps to lift, pictures to slide, envelopes to open, pages to unfold - this book is pure enchantment!!

Santa Claus is a delightful and beautifully illustrated children's book about the mysterious wonders of Santa's magical world. The timeless Christmas classic transports you to the enchanting North Pole, where Santa lives. The best part is that you get the recipe for Mrs. Claus' Christmas cookies. My son and I had a tradition of baking these cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. We just wanted to make sure he felt right at home when he arrived at midnight. We also took care of the reindeer, leaving carrots for them. An extremely enjoyable read with your children to enthrall them with stories and get them into the Xmas spirit. There is just one rule: keep all of the secrets learned here to yourself!

What an incredibly written book about the magic of Santa Claus. Very detailed and informative of a wonderful story for children. I certainly would have enjoyed this book as a child.

ALL parents with young children (and anyone else!) who BELIEVE should have this book! This is a special book that lets you in on ALL of Santa's wonderful magic! A book that will be cherished and passed on for generations! my 13 and 11 year old boys STILL love to get this book out around the Holidays and read it; and they are now passing it on to their cousins by sharing Santa's magic with them! This was one of the best holiday purchases I have ever made for my family........

LOVE LOVE LOVE This book! If you have an almost non-believer, then this is the book to have them read. Exceptional explanations of Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves, the reindeer and everything else up in the North Pole! Amazing illustrations and a few fun additions to the book make it worth every penny. I'm buying one for my second daughter so each of my girls has a copy for their children. It's that good.

We love this book. We read it every year at Christmas. It tells all about the North Pole: the Artic, Santa's House, Elves, the Mail Room (naughty vs nice list), Santa's Workshop, Mrs. Claus, the Reindeer (all 9), Santa's Magic Suit, the Sleigh, Traveling the World, Delivering Presents, Santa Sightings, Christmas Day at the Pole, and Aurora Borealis (northern lights). It is a wonderful book!

[Kate Hastings · Rating 4 out of 5]

Combines actual facts about the arctic with encyclopedia-like facts about Santa's world. This "non-fiction" titles will answer any questions about toys, clothes and reindeer that kids might have. Beautiful gift book because of all the envelopes and flaps inside.

[Stacy · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only bad thing about this book is that Mrs. Claus' cookie recipe turned out horrible. We are sure they did it on purpose so that no one would find out the true secret.
