Does Santa Eat All Those Cookies (Or Does He Have a Secret)? Joanne Sandlin

Children will enjoy using their imaginations as they ride with Santa on Christmas Eve delivering presents and collecting cookies from children everywhere. A skeptical Santa of his new gift tablet and GPS from Mrs. Claus and the elves (which he calls a thingamajig) he decides deserves a special thank you. Readers will discover Santa?s secret which becomes his plan to thank them for the helpful gifts speeding up his journey. He was able to get back to the North Pole in time for a big Christmas Day party! Children are then invited to select a cookie recipe from some of Santa?s favorites and bake them as a gift to share with someone special in their life. It is a heartwarming story with a twenty-first century twist while answering the question of what happens to all those cookies! In the spirit of Christmas, baking together and sharing cookies is a bonding opportunity for children and adults making lifelong memories while teaching the importance of giving and saying thank you. An especially delightful book to be shared with parents, grandparents, and children of all ages year after year.
