Description
HOW DOES SANTA CLAUS COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY?
Book Summary
A picture book that explores with humor and imagination one of the great mysteries of Christmas: how does Santa Claus manage to come down the chimney? Through funny questions and zany answers, authors Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen invite young readers to ponder Christmas mysteries. What happens if there is no chimney? What if there is a dog? A work that celebrates the magic of the holidays without losing its smile, perfect for sharing with the family.
What is it about?
The book starts with a classic question: how does Santa Claus come down the chimney? From there, it explores multiple scenarios and doubts: what happens if the house has no chimney? Do the reindeer help him get in? How does he not trip over furniture if it is all dark? And why doesn't the house dog bark at him? Each page collects childlike explanations, some possible and others absolutely zany, that answer the great Christmas question. With a playful tone and expressive illustrations, the work does not aim to provide a definitive answer, but rather celebrates the imagination and mystery surrounding the figure of Santa Claus.
