In the instant classic, Letters from the North Pole by Annie Atkins, five children from all around the world write to Santa Claus with ideas for Christmas gifts and are amazed when he writes back! Through five letters from Santa that children can pull out and read, the hidden world of the North Pole is revealed, from how reindeer can sleep standing up, to what snacks Santa would like left out on Christmas Eve, and how he gets round the world so quickly. But will the gifts the children have requested be made in time? This is a nostalgic and festive tale, reminiscent of the classic The Jolly Postman. Hosted by Yvonne Brooks. Perfect for kids 4 to 8, but all ages are welcome.

"The air of magic wafting through the perky rhyming text and old-fashioned visuals may well spark the creativity of some young inventors."

★“An interactive and visually lush holiday tale . . . Atkins’s thoughtful design is joyous in its expression of period details like elaborate script, postmarked stamps, varied typewriter key strikes, and toy schematics which appear hand drawn. This elevated spin on ‘letters to Santa’ will be a Christmas staple with its unique inclusion of removable letters.”
