Age range 3 to 6

The story of Santa is re-imagined in a contemporary and hilarious way that will charm both children and adults.

Little Santa loves, loves, loves the North Pole. The rest of his family? Not so much. So, when they decide to move to Florida, Santa is miserable. Lucky for him, a blizzard foils their plans. The only way out of the house is up the chimney. Up goes Santa, to look for help, and along the way, he meets a reindeer and a large group of elves, who are more than eager to join in the rescue. (And you know the rest of the story!)

'Crisp storytelling, bold lines, and expert page turns make the book ideal for group sharing - and kids will be asking for it all year round.' - Horn Book, starred review
