About This Book

Mac Barnett poses the age-old question every child wonders at Christmas: just how does Santa fit down the chimney? Various theories are offered - he squeezes, he melts, he turns into a gas - each one more absurd and delightful than the last. Jon Klassen's deadpan illustrations play perfectly against the increasingly wild explanations.

Why We Love This

The dry humor lands with kids and adults alike, and the open-ended mystery keeps little ones debating their own theories long after the book is closed.
