Cover of Mrs. Claus Explains it All by Elsbeth Claus

If you're a parent, chances are you've been posed with many of the brain-stumping questions in Mrs. Claus Explains It All: (At Last) Answers to the Questions Real Kids Ask!

If you're looking for the right answers to fill in your inquisitive Santa investigator, you'll want to pick up this book written by Mrs. Claus herself. Each year the North Pole receives enormous piles of letters and email and it occurred to Mrs. Claus that perhaps she should address the most frequently asked questions from all the curious children out there.

So Mrs. Claus takes time out from her busy schedule to answer the questions all of us want to know. You and your young reader will learn how old Santa is, what Santa likes to eat, what Santa's workshops are like, and much more.

Wondering what kind of cookie Santa likes best, so you can put out his favorite on Christmas Eve? Mrs. Claus lets us know that she's yet to come across a kind of cookie he doesn't like, but among his all-time favorites are chocolate chip, gingersnaps, peanut butter and oatmeal.

The book is beautifully illustrated by David Wenzel, bestselling illustrator of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and is sure to become a staple in a child's Christmas collection. I wish I had this book when I was younger, but it's never too late to learn all of Santa's secrets!
