Mr. Santa

With wit and affection, the inimitable Jarvis imagines the giddy wonder of a child who finds she has Santa all to herself--with free rein to ask all the questions that spring to mind. Mr. Santa? Is it really you? Did you read my letter? And have you wiped your shoes? When a little girl comes face-to-face with Santa in her own house, she can hardly believe it! After inviting him into her world ( Do you want to meet my fishes? Do you want to hear me play?) comes that universal wish ( Can I ride your sleigh?). With the two of them aloft, questions continue to fly: Can Santa eat clouds? Does he stop at traffic lights? Is his belly button innie or outie? Does he take a teddy to bed? With signature warmth and a gentle visual humor, Jarvis channels the excitement of every child who has dreamed of meeting the jolly, generous old soul who personifies the most magical night of the year.
