Santa's Eleven Months Off

What does Santa do with his hard-earned vacation time? The same stuff you would do--and a whole lot more

In this uproarious tale, Santa recovers from a hectic December by embarking on an hilarious campaign of adventure and self-improvement--from sumo wrestling to international espionage to continuing education (including Elf Esteem and Basic Reindeer Labor Laws). But no matter where he goes or what he does, he's still our beloved Santa Claus. So, thanks, Santa, for all your hard work. Go ahead and take the rest of the year off

With popular author and Simpsons writer Mike Reiss' sparkling rhyme scheme and Michael Montgomery's expressive and energetic oil paintings, this unique, pre-holiday story is perfect for children who are curious about what Santa does all year.
