Synopsis

There are lots of things that regular people can do, but Santa can't. Santa can't ride in cars or fly in airplanes. How would that make the reindeer feel? Santa can't walk past a plateful of cookies, either.

We love Santa for all the things he can't do. And we can't wait for Christmas Eve!!

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-Cushman and Wood have teamed up for another winner with this whimsical expos‚ of Santa's vulnerability. He may be a bit forgetful, he may not be as fit as he once was, he may have his weakness for cookies-but this green, bearded, bespectacled Santa-dinosaur is irresistible. More a catalog of astute observations-Santa can't drive a car ("That would hurt the reindeer's feelings")-than a traditional story, the satisfying one-liners reveal the endearing down-to-earth side of this holiday icon. Cushman's colorful, imaginative watercolor-and-ink drawings bring the ideas to hilarious life. This title is excellent for reading aloud, but expect to pause while waiting for the howls of laughter to subside.-L. I.
