<p>Santa Claus is going to town! Marrying the magic of Scanimation with the universally beloved figure of Santa Claus, <em>Santa!</em> is a holiday book unlike any other.</p><p><br />It presents a Santa that readers have never seen before—acrobatic, playful, a little mischievous, filled with joyful energy. Here’s Santa hula-hooping. Santa juggling. Santa doing cartwheels and Santa on a unicycle. Children, as they did with <em>Gallop!</em>, will want to imitate Santa’s irresistibly happy motions. The grown-ups will be unable to stop smiling—it’s hard to imagine a cooler character than this jolly St. Nick as he runs, spins, gyrates, backflips, and blows big bubbles.</p><p><br />Scanimation is the technology behind the instant <em>New York Times</em> best-selling series that started with <em>Gallop!</em>, to most recently <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>. Author and inventor Rufus Butler Seder continues to refine the Scanimations, with ever more smooth-flowing and detailed moving images—perfectly applied, in this case, to the irresistible figure of Santa Claus.</p>
