We all know the kids who, at this time, are too cool for school, let alone Christmas, so this is the ideal book to draw them in and keep them reading.  It includes  fun (possibly untrue) Christmas facts, a Q&A with Santa himself and riddles to make even the grumpiest grinch laugh – and the rest of us groan. (Although the curriculum/language nerds might want to use it to investigate puns and riddles and so on.)

It’s a great addition to the Santa Sack or Christmas display as young lads, particularly, begin their initiation into being the best dad-joke tellers ever,  as well as keeping the magic going just a little longer.
