With the hope of helping parents prevent seasonal meltdowns in their children, Kris and Karl partner together to share colorful artwork, real-life stories, and reassuring advice that teach others how to compile a good list for Santa, what to tell children about him, and how to ensure a peaceful, fearless trip to see the jolly old elf.
