Beautifully produced, this humorous Christmas book offers a message about healthy eating and healthy hearts. Cleverly told in verse, the story finds Santa in a spot. Centuries of festive food have taken their toll on his waistline—and narrow chimneys present a problem. Mrs. Claus puts her foot down, announcing that it's time for a healthy eating plan and more exercise for Santa and the reindeer. Kids will laugh at pictures of Santa hiking, biking, and working out with weights, and they may be inspired to act on Santa's instructions to set out carrots, not cookies, for his snack on Christmas Eve.
