Synopsis

What can't Santa do? Lots of things!

He can never buy enough reindeer biscuits.

He can't wait to try out the new toys.

He can't stop smiling.

And, just like you and me,

Santa can't wait for...well, you'll see!

About the Author:

Doug Cushman is best known for his illustrations in the Can't Do series. He created the lovable dinosaur characters you see in this series. He simply can't wait for the next Can't Do book, called What Grandmas Can't Do.

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.
