On a cold afternoon in a cold little town, where everywhere you
looked was either the white of snow or the black of soot from
chimneys, Annabelle found a box full of yarn of every colour. It
seemed like an ordinary box. But it turned out it wasn't.
The multi-award-winning duo of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen tackle a
perennial question: how does Santa go down the chimney? When Santa
arrives at a child’s house on Christmas Eve, does he go down the
chimney feetfirst or headfirst? What if he gets stuck? What if
there’s no chimney? Maybe he slides under the door, as thin as a
piece of paper? Or is it possible he pours himself through the tap?
What happens once he’s inside? Mac Barnett’s iconic talent for
earnest deadpan humour and Jon Klassen’s irresistibly funny art
honour this timeless question with answers both ridiculous and
plausible, mounting in hilarity as the night continues. Channeling
a child’s fanciful explanations, this latest collaboration by a
bestselling team will find a secure spot among family Christmas
traditions.
With perfect pacing, the multi-award-winning, "New York Times"
best-selling team of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen dig down for a
deadpan tale full of visual humor.

spectacular. So they dig a hole. And they keep digging. And they
find . . . nothing. Yet the day turns out to be pretty spectacular
after all. Attentive readers will be rewarded with a rare treasure
