Title: The Christmas Magic

Author: Lauren Thompson

Illustrator: Jon J. Muth, illustrator of the Caldecott Honor Book Zen Shorts

Recommended for Ages: 4-8

Story: Jon Muth's artwork provides a different view of Santa Claus. In The Christmas Magic, he is a taller and leaner version of the traditional Santa and wears a long blue robe with stars on it and a long pointed hat with a yellow star at the tip. The emphasis of the book is on Santa's preparations for Christmas and the approach of “the Christmas magic” that will allow the reindeer to fly and Santa to deliver the presents he has chosen, with love, for each child.
