The Truth About Santa Claus (E-2 Truth)
The information in this book was compiled by The
Blue Lantern Studio, a research and development
laboratory. Using antique postcards, books,
calendar pictures, etc., the researchers document
Santa's evolution over the years from 1863 - 1981. I
even found one picture that was dated the year I
was born and I can tell you that was long, long
time ago! (2007) [11/07]
The Longest Christmas List Ever by
Gregg and Evan Spiridellis (E-1)
Last Christmas morning Tevor doesn't find a puppy
under the tree because he forgot to put it on his
list. But he figures out that if he starts next year's
list right now, he won't miss a thing. That list gets
longer and longer and longer and it will cost too
much to mail it. And now, Trevor is pretty sure he
won't t receive anything from Santa this year.

illustrated by Caroline Jayne Church (E-1)
Teeny and Tino are best bunny friends and they do

mice find the lists and have great fun with all the
paper. (2007) [11/07)
