Illustrated by
Lynne Cravath.
Feeling outdated, Santa changes everything--his hair, clothes, even his sleigh--but discovers that no one appreciates his improvements. In an amusing conclusion, Mrs. Claus reminds Santa that he has indeed changed: he's smarter now. Cravath makes the most of the tale's humor in her lighthearted illustrations of Santa trying out various fashions and modes of transportation.
