Hugo Kringle is Coming to Town !
Mike Anderson is an award-winning teacher , author , musician , and even more awardwinning children ’ s performer . His kindergarten class was sure he was Santa . They also thought it was a dirty trick for Santa to be their teacher .
Two years later , second grader Riley said one October day , “ Mr . Anderson , I know you aren ’ t Santa .” In kindergarten she had been positive he was . “ You ’ re his brother !” Genius ! Now , as Hugo Kringle , Mike Anderson travels the country making holiday appearances .
The journey has seen the creation of 3 picture books : The Magic Bag tells how Kris Kringle got the bag that holds way too many toys . The Flying Bunnies tells how Santa can fly random animals , including reindeer and brothers . Santa ’ s Secret Gift confirms why sometimes Santa sometimes brings what is needed instead of wanted .
All three books won a Santa ’ s Choice award .
Listen and Live Audio Books wanted the Growing Up with Santa stories as an audio book . It received a Mom ’ s Choice Silver Award . It consists of six stories about Hugo Kringle seeing Kris Kringle get his magical powers . Each story is about six minutes long , just the right length for holiday bedtime stories .
Hugo created 2 secular sing-along recordings : Santa ’ s Choice winner Christmas Songs , a collection of Santa song favorites and Dance Like Frosty , a collection of Anderson originals selected by Creative Child Magazine as 2021 Children ’ s Holiday recording of the year . The recordings feature dulcimer , banjo , jaw harp , bones , and vocals . No canned music was used on either recording .
Hugo performs for thousands of children every year . He is available for appearances year-round .
