FLIGHT
OF THE REINDEER: The True Story of Santa Claus
and His Christmas Mission. Robert Sullivan,
Glenn Wolff (Illustrator) / Hardcover / Published
1997/ 96 pages. 
A
perfect companion to the SantaGPS software!
Everyone believes in Christmas, but what about
Santa Claus? Is it only the young who wait for
that one special evening every year? With the
expertise of some of the world's most reknowned
Arctic experts, wildlife biologists, historians,
and polar explorers, along with authentic
photographs and illustrations, Robert Sullivan
offers proof positive that Santa and his team do
exist. I LOVE this book. I bought one for myself
and then for my nephews and nieces. It is
wonderfully put together and it is ESSENTIAL for
anyone with kids at that "skeptical"
age.

Auntie
Claus by
Elise
Primavera
Amazon.com
says: Award-winning illustrator Elise
Primavera's gorgeous artwork is positively
luminous, recalling the splendid Christmas
television specials How
the Grinch Stole Christmas and the Claymation
version of Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer in extraordinary
compositions, compellingly portrayed characters,
and unusual perspectives. Not at all surprisingly,
Nickelodeon Films has already secured the rights
to this action-packed, highly visual story to make
a full-length live-action film in the year 2000.

Questions About Santa Claus

THE
POLAR EXPRESS by Chris Van Allsburg. 
Amazon.Com
says: One couldn't select a more delightful and
exciting premise for a children's book than the
tale of a young boy lying awake on Christmas Eve
only to have Santa Claus sweep by and take him on
a trip with other children to the North Pole. And
one couldn't ask for a more talented artist and
writer to tell the story than Chris Van Allsburg.
Allsburg, a sculptor who entered the genre
nonchalantly when he created a children's book as
a diversion from his sculpting, won the 1986
Caldecott Medal for this book, one of several
award winners he's produced. The Polar Express
rings with vitality and wonder.

tree. Full color. An ALA Notable Children's Book

The
Physics of Christmas - From the Aerodynamics of
Reindeer to the Thermodynamics of Turkey - By
Roger Highfield; Hardcover
Roger
Highfield loves science, and he loves Christmas,
too. Combining the two in The Physics of Christmas
is his attempt to refute the notion that "the
materialist insights of science destroy our
capacity to wonder, leaving the world a more
boring and predictable place." To that end,
Highfield presents an amusing, eclectic, and
trivia-filled collection of scientific
observations about one of the Western world's most
beloved holidays. (Amazon.com)
