Customer Reviews

Came quickly

This was a last minute Christmas gift idea that came in time! Very impressive service. And the book was good, too!!

Santa is Plausible

"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" and this book tells you just how he does it, but even though you now know the science behind Santa you can still believe that he is real and that he does manage to get to every home in the world at midnight on Christmas Eve. And none of the stuff in the book is made up - or at least most of it isn't. This is real science - around today or at least in the offing - not science fiction - though some of it started there and some may still be in that realm. But it makes Santa's trek plausible - well, if you really believe!

Don't Believe the Flying Robots-I'm Nice!

I truly laughed out loud when I read this book. Santa's spying tree ornaments would confirm it. If you enjoy a good satire, clever prose and learning how to time travel--you will enjoy this book. For those aesthetes out there, the book is beautifully illustrated and comes in a compact hard cover. It is actually the perfect holiday gift and I have picked it up for my friends, family, children's teachers, and my work colleagues. I hope to see more of this genre from this author in the future.

Smart & Funny

Tough to combine "smart & funny" in such an entertaining way, but this book does it very well!

it all makes sense now...

as our kids get older they inevitably get smarter. Finally there is a guidebook that will help me keep up with them and counter all of their Santa related "but if he's real then how does he ______?" questions. Thanks for making me a believer again.
