Have you ever wondered what Mrs. Claus does on Christmas Eve when Santa flies off on his trip around the world? It’s no secret what Santa Claus does, but What Does Mrs. Claus Do? is an up- close look at Mrs. Claus and her Christmas Eve activities.

Mrs. Claus might stay home to clean up the mess Santa and the Elves left. Maybe she reads a story, plays chess, fills stocking and knits by the fire. Or maybe… she hosts the Jingle Bell Ball, runs and advises Claus Enterprises, processes consumer requests, develops new products, or just maybe, after Santa leaves, she follows like a ninja, watching Santa’s back and cleaning up any problems he leaves behind.

And then, when Santa returns, she’s sitting before the fire, patiently waiting. How could she do all she does in such a short period of time? Read What Does Mrs. Claus Do? and find out.

This is a delightful Christmas story that places the focus on Mrs. Claus. It celebrates her job and is a modern tale about what Mrs. Claus might do when Santa is delivering toys to all the boys and girls around the world.

Christian Slade’s illustrations are lovely. The scenes will attract and keep the attention of children.
