Christmas has been wrapped in secrecy for centuries, but it is finally time to tell you what really happens in the countdown to the big day. Join Ivy Everjingle, Santa’s Head Elf, as she tells you the most magical mysteries of the North Pole in this ultimate festive treasury full of secrets that even grown-ups don’t know.

The pages of this special book will take you to every corner of the North Pole – stopping off at the workshop to see how the toys are made, visiting the reindeers in their paddock and seeing the post office where all your letters come in. It will reveal the science behind reindeer flight, show you just how Santa’s suit is designed, uncover all the curious jobs of the Christmas elves and even let you in on some elf magic.

So wrap up warm, drink a sip of your hot chocolate and take your seat in the sleigh . . . it’s time to take a trip to the North Pole and see what it really takes to make Christmas happen.  

This is the ultimate festive compendium to capture the magic of Christmas, perfect for families to enjoy together in the run up to the big day and spark joy at the most magical time of the year.
