I Am Not Santa Claus

A hilariously clever picture book about a man with a white beard and a red hat who, despite all evidence to the contrary, insists that he is NOT Santa Claus.

Everyone, look! It’s Santa Claus!

He says he’s just a regular old man! But he has a fluffy white beard and a red coat and hat, and even says "Ho ho ho"! He must be Santa Claus! Right?

Step inside and find out for yourself! Is this the real Santa Claus?

From T. L. McBeth comes a silly and clever picture book that is the perfect gift or stocking stuffer for Christmas!
