During his hard-earned vacation time, Santa likes to have fun, just like everyone else.  In this uproarious tale by popular author and “Simpsons” writer Mike Reiss, Santa recovers from a hectic December by embarking on a hilarious campaign of adventure and self-improvement—from sumo wrestling, to international espionage, to continuing education.  But no matter where he goes or what he does, he’s still our beloved Santa Claus, as Michael Montgomery’s illustrations reveal.  Launch date: September 2007.
