Top-secret information on Santa (Shhhhhhhh...) Intrepid Santa-tracker Alan Snow has traveled up through Lapland to the far reaches of the Arctic Circle in search of the ever-elusive Mr. Claus. There, beneath the polar cap, deep underground, he found a bustling community with one mission and one mission only -- to make Christmas happen. Have you ever wondered how Santa knows exactly when you fall asleep? Does he really have time to check if every single child's been naughty or nice? And maybe more important, what do the naughty kids actually end up with? These are but a few of the questions you've never had answers for...until now. How Santa Really Works is the real scoop on how Santa does what he does so well.
I bought this book last year 2006 for my then-6-year-old son. There is so much to read (and so much humor!) on every page - it's so entertaining. I love it because it presents the mystery of Santa in a fanciful, rather wacky way - we both get lots of laughs and it's crazy ideas always provoke a few questions along the way. This book has become a new Christmas tradition in our house and has been a party-gift for a few friends as well. Spread the cheer!

I bought this book for my 6-year-old son who has many questions about Santa. If he ever get a hold of the book I am sure he will enjoy it. The last two evenings my 10-year-old daughter and I have read this book together and we enjoyed everything about it. While it is a typical quick read for a picture book, we spent a long time study the illustrations which we thought were very funny. I found myself enjoying this book so much I forgot for a few minutes that it was fiction. Definitely worth buying and quite a cute book for a gift.

This is a fun-filled read. Parents, grandparents, older siblings, etc. will get quite a kick from reading and sharing this colorful and "informative" look into Santa's life!! The illustrations are fabulous. I had been searching for this years Holiday Book for each of my grandchildren and this one more than fills the bill. It is a delight. . .if a bit off the wall!!
