SANTA'S SECRETS REVEALED

You can't keep a good legend down—at least when it comes to Santa. A young skeptic named Stevie joins the ranks of Virginia and others who have questioned Old Saint Nick's existence. With confidence and a tongue-in-cheek flair, Solheim (It's Disgusting—and We Ate It! ) delivers some answers—mostly scientific, of course—that dispel Stevie's doubts. Gott's (the Horace Splattley series) spiffy computer-generated pieces contain oodles of humorous touches. Ages 5-8. (Oct.)
