A smiling Santa in goggles and aviator helmet speeds up the
Christmas Eve delivery system with updated transportation from his
"Far Northair" sleigh. This futuristic-looking vehicle still uses
eight reindeer, but additional propulsion is controlled through
sophisticated equipment in the covered cockpit (including a
built-in beverage maker with choices from hot chocolate to borsht).
This interpretation of Moore's classic poem finds Santa making a
delivery to a household with three children in a traditional,
suburban neighborhood. The father of the family springs out of bed
in a panic in one dramatic spread, with his hand seeming to stretch
right off the page toward the reader. A diverse crew of helpers
joins Santa on his Christmas Eve flight, with costumed elves from
many countries and ethnic groups helping to unload the toys and
clean the soot off Santa's red cape, furry pants and pointed boots.
Elves and toys decorate the endpapers and also appear as spot
illustrations at the end of the poem's verses, which are
attractively framed with bold, red borders on alternating spreads.
An "interview" of St. Nick by illustrator Watson concludes the
volume. (Picture book. 3-7) (Kirkus Reviews)
The classic Christmas poem-now available in a board book edition for the youngest child.
