In this gentle story, Thompson shares Santa's careful preparations for the magic of Christmas. He mends his clothes, feeds his reindeer and waits for the "tingling" that means the start of his night, delivering all the specially chosen gifts to children around the world. Muth's watercolors provide the perfectly pitched mood.
