by Mac Barnett (Author) Jon Klassen (Illustrator)
El tándem perfecto de Mac Barnett y Jon Klassen nos trae esta divertida historia que trata de aclarar la duda de todas las niñas y los niños del mundo: ¿cómo entra Papá Noel en las casas?
¿Cómo baja Papá Noel por la chimenea? ¿Y si la casa no tiene chimenea? ¿Le ayudan los renos a entrar? Y una vez dentro, ¿cómo puede no tropezarse con los muebles si todo está a oscuras? Y si en la casa hay perro, ¿por qué no le ladra? Este libro resolverá todas las dudas... O no. Lo importante es que Papá Noel seguirá bajando por las chimeneas aunque no tengamos ni idea de cómo lo hace.
Una divertida recopilación de explicaciones infantiles a la gran pregunta de la Navidad, algunas posibles y otras descabelladas, pero todas muy divertidas.

The question of how roly-poly Santa can squeeze himself down any chimney, and even insinuate himself into spaces that have no chimney, is quite a stumper. But this mystery is tackled head-on (and hilariously) by the multi-award-winning team of Barnett and Klassen. . . Klassen's illustrations, done in graphite pencil and ink and finished digitally, fit the absurdist humor wonderfully. The conclusion--that the narrator has no idea how Santa does it but is glad he can--is a great kicker.
Behold! A Christmas miracle.
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 (English edition)
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 (English edition)
Guaranteed to bring Christmas cheer... With Klassen's droll, sooty illustrations, and just a little naughtiness, it's a real schmaltz-free treat. - The Guardian (English edition)
