Magic Flashlight: Santa Surprise

With invisible ink and UV flashlight

Illustrated by Kathryn Selbert
Young readers will love to explore the fun Christmas scenes at the North Pole with this interactive book, which includes a UV flashlight and hidden Christmas characters, presents, and more surprises to discover on every page!

Children can dim the lights and explore these fun Christmas scenes at the North Pole! Readers can use the UV flashlight to find Christmas characters, presents, and more surprises hiding on every spread as they explore Santa's workshop, an ice-skating rink, reindeer stables, a snowy yard, and more places.

There’s more to these books than meets the eye! Children can shine the UV flashlight onto the pages in the Magic Flashlight series to find hidden characters and objects in every scene.
Dee Costello is a children’s book editor and writer who grew up in London, spent a happy chunk of her life in Boston, and is now living by the big, beautiful sea in Worthing, UK. At any opportunity she will try to smell pine trees, adopt a new plant pet, surf, laugh, create arty things with her two children, and read . . . out loud!

Kathryn Selbert is a freelance illustrator who creates artwork for children, patterns, greeting cards, and stationery. Kathryn currently resides in Montclair, NJ, with her French bulldog Margot and tea loving partner. In her free time, Kathryn is a devoted plant mom and undertaker of overly ambitious baking and cooking projects.
