Santa ABC: it’s quirky, it’s cheerful and it sure beats a lump of coal

With bold and colourful illustrations, Santa ABC takes you on a tour through the alphabet with your old pal Santa, from Astronaut Santa to Zombie Santa. There are lots of funny bits, some surprises and a few teachable moments. Santa is pretty awesome all on his own . . . but how much cooler is Santa as a ninja? Or a pirate? Kids will love seeing their favourite jolly old elf given an odd assortment of jobs and emotions. Parents will roll their eyes when their kids add “hangry” to their day-to-day lexicon. Santa ABC is festive, mildly educational and guaranteed to make even a hardened grinch crack a smile or two.
