About the Book

How does Santa Claus manage to deliver Christmas presents to all the good boys and girls in just one night? Take a fun-filled look into the dizzying details of all the amazing things Santa accomplishes every Christmas in order to bring all those millions of presents around the world with Super Santa.

When you’re opening up your perfect gift Christmas morning, have you ever wondered how that gift made it all the way from the North Pole to under your Christmas tree? How does Santa visit every good boy and girl in the whole world while carrying millions of presents in just one winter’s night? Between traveling at 730,000 miles per hour and chowing down on 400 million cookies in one night, Kris Kringle is a Christmas superhero!

Take a peek behind the scenes into Santa’s workshop and discover how a little science and engineering and a whole lot of Christmas magic all work together to make this special day sparkle.
