Super Santa: The Science of Christmas

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | September, 2021 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-298363-3 $10.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Guy Francis. This super-entertaining book reveals the science behind Santa's Christmas Eve magic. Holly, part of a team of tech-savvy elves, takes us on a tour of Santa's workshop (which must produce over a billion presents a year); garage (run by Mrs. Claus, where they've built a sled equipped to carry a million tons of toys and stop in the space of a single roof); and loading dock (where Santa dons a special suit designed to handle the g-forces of traveling 730,000 miles per hour). Flying from east to west across the International Date Line, he's able to complete all his deliveries and--jangling jingle bells!--make it back to the North Pole to start the process all over again. Double-page spreads full of bustling activity and humorous details add to the appeal.
