SHORTLISTED FOR THE WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 SHORTLISTED FOR THE FOYLES CHILDREN'S AND YA BOOK OF THE YEAR NOMINATED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL CURRENTLY PLAYING AS A STAGE ADAPTATION AT THE UNICORN THEATRE, LONDON! "Comical speculation tries to answer the question we all wonder about, with much of the humour added by the pictures." Children's books of the year 2023, The Sunday Times "Guaranteed to bring Christmas cheer... With Klassen's droll, sooty illustrations, and just a little naughtiness, it's a real schmaltz-free treat." Guardian 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. Channelling a child's fanciful explanations, this latest collaboration by a bestselling team will find a secure spot among family Christmas traditions. "Delightfully deadpan, this understated picture book muses on how Santa gains access ... it'll delight imaginative pre-schoolers." The Metro "The perfect pairing of Barnett and Klassen delivers a sublime festive gift in this testing question of how Father Christmas brings presents ... make sure you hang a stocking by the fireplace holding this one." Daily Mail
