The first major new Christmas story in decades, *Santa's Twin* is sure to bring joy that parents can share with their children. Lavishly illustrated with spectacular paintings by Phil Parks, this thoroughly modern masterpiece breathes new life and warmth into the world's most beloved legend Read it aloud, preferably to someone whose laugh you love to hear.
