When Santa Fell to Earth

(4) 4-6 Translated by Oliver G. Latsch. Illustrated by Paul Howard. Two lonely children are befriended by the last true Santa (the only surviving holdout against the Great Christmas Council's heartless commercialization of Christmas) when he crash-lands in their neighborhood. Magic abounds as the three try to save the holiday from evil forces in this saccharine but entertaining tale. Generously dispersed drawings bring the season and characters to life.
