One Persons Journey Through A World of Books Thoughts:

Every year millions of letters to Santa reach the North Pole. Many are requests for presents. And many letters have questions about Santa, the elves and workshops, the reindeer, and, of course, the North Pole. Now Mrs. Claus has her own gift for you - for the first time ever, she's taking a break from her very busy schedule to answer real questions from children of all ages. Join her on a tour of the North Pole and learn some of the best kept secrets of Christmas from the person who knows it all - Mrs. Claus! Each question is accompanied by the colorful illustrations of David T. Wenzel, whose projects have included the Christmas bestseller Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May and the visualization of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit as illustrated in graphic novel format. A big beautiful book that was exciting to pull off the shelf. Page by page the questions are posted by the children with care.... and Mrs. Claus has the answers to share! I love oversize books and this large Christmas read is perfect for an evening of hot cocoa and a cookie or two.

Christmas FAQs...just in time

Mrs. Claus Explains It All by Elsbeth Claus and illustrated by David Wenzel answers the real questions many children ask about Christmas. Things like, How does Santa do it all in one night? and How can Santa get in if I don't have a chimney?, and many more. This is the inside scoop, because who knows more about the holiday and the man in red than his wife, Mrs. Claus. She even reveals some personal things I didn't know, like the fact that Santa is actually very health conscious and exercises everyday. This book is written with the young child's imagination in mind and the illustrations help bring that to life. The illustrator David Wenzel's art work can also seen in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by Robert L. May and in J.R.R. Tolkien's graphic rendition of The Hobbit.

Mrs Claus Explains It All - a new Christmas Classic

We bought this book last year about a week before Christmas - and my then 5 and 3 year old kids asked me to read it daily. This year my now 6-yr-old is reading it to herself - and to her brother - each day. They love telling me what they've learned about how Santa does what he does. I'm sending to all my nieces and nephews next week as an early Christmas present.

Finally, my questions are answered!

Just in time for Christmas comes a book that I, personally, have been waiting for since before I learned how to read. Why's that? Well, this one holds the answers to some of the biggest questions I've had about a particularly generous man who wears a bright red suit, and it's high time someone decided to answer those! I thought I was the only one who wondered how the heck he got into my home when I don't have a chimney, and how all of those explorers never found that huge workshop at the North Pole. Guess I wasn't the only one, after all. Santa's right-hand man (woman, actually, since this was written by none other than Mrs. Elsbeth Claus herself) takes the most popular questions that reach Santa's inbox year after year and answers them all in this richly illustrated book. In this one volume, you can find out where the elves came from, how the North Pole is designed and functions, and Santa's favorite types of cookies. Even mentioned is an "Elf Academy" where good children can train to become human Elves and work missions for Santa undercover! (I may have to look into that myself...) For the child in your home, or the child in you, you'll definitely want this book in your home as you celebrate the Christmas season.

Delightful and wonderful!

Mrs. Claus Explains It All is a delightful and unique book that is perfect for children and enjoyable for adults. With gorgeous illustrations by David Wenzel, this is not only a verbal treat, but a visual one as well. As any parent or adult who has been around children knows, those little minds come up with some puzzling questions. In Mrs. Claus Explains It All, several of those puzzling Christmas/Santa questions can now be answered in a satisfying and fun way. One evening, nestled on the couch with a warm blanket, I settled down with this wonderful book and found myself enjoying each and every word, as well as each and every picture. As a parent of a 6 and 2 year old, I can honestly say that this comes in very handy as a clever way to answer some of those "But how" questions. Not only that, but Mrs. Claus Explains It All, brought back wonderful childhood memories and set the mood perfectly for the holiday season. I adore this book and know that it will make a perfect addition to any library. What a delightful way to bring in the holiday season and bring a glowing smile to a child's innocent face!
