Description
About the Book
The pressure to get the toys out on time for Christmas is almost more than the elves can bear, so they decided to automate the workshop. But it's not long before Santa himself is downsized, because he can't compete with a machine. Or can he? Full color.Book Synopsis
Santa has the best job he can think of -- brining presents each Christmas to children all around the world. Every year he prepares for his trip: He trims his beard, takes a bath, gets dressed, and packs up his sleigh fort he long night ahead. But there are always a few unexpected delays that make things a little hectic. Muckle, one of the elves who helps Santa, thinks he can come up with a more efficient way of delivering the toys -- a method that won't involve Santa at all.Review Quotes
School Library Journal, starred review [Krensky's] text and Schindler's wonderfully energetic illustrations depict the elusive qualities that make Santa the best choice [for the job].
