Comical speculation tries to answer the question we all wonder about, with much of the humour added by the pictures, in which stolid Santa is found in undignified positions.
Children’s books of the year 2023, The Sunday Times
The perfect pairing of Barnett and Klassen delivers a sublime festive gift in this testing question of how Father Christmas brings presents, all wrapped up with dead-pan humour and deceptively simple illustrations. […] The ideal answer to every child’s bemusement, make sure you hang a stocking by the fireplace holding this one.
Daily Mail
Klassen’s surreal, slyly witty drawings reflect the absurdity of trying to solve the mystery of how Father Christmas delivers all those presents on Christmas Eve. Barnett’s deadpan humour is perfect for reading aloud.
- Sally Morris, Daily Mail
Guaranteed to bring Christmas cheer… With Klassen’s droll, sooty illustrations, and just a little naughtiness, it’s a real schmaltz-free treat.
- Imogen Carter, The Guardian
Delightfully deadpan, this understated picture book muses on how Santa gains access – does he turn toffee-thin, or flow out of the tap? Humorously brought to life by Klassen’s illustrations, it’ll delight imaginative pre-schoolers.
