Publisher Description
The mice at the North Pole are getting ready to deck the halls with all the essentials. They’ve got ornaments and twinkle lights, candy canes and popcorn garlands. One by one, the mice unpack all the merriest decorations, but soon the items become a bit unexpected. Hot cocoa? Fuzzy dice? A map? In a festive twist, it’s revealed that it’s not a tree the mice are decorating, but Santa’s sleigh, all decked out for Christmas Eve!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
What goes into readying Santa's sleigh? For mouse elves, the ingredients are what one might expect for trimming a tree: "First, the lights!/ Then, the garland!/ Hang the ornaments./ Candy canes! Yum!" Unexpected elements include snacks, a pair of aviator sunglasses, a map, air freshener (pine-scented, naturally), and fuzzy dice. Finally, Long reveals the "Santa Express," a rocketlike green machine with turbo power. Santa is a polar bear who blasts out of sight on the final spread. Long builds anticipation in spry illustrations to a sleigh reveal that is worth the wait. The only question is, why doesn't Santa use GPS? Ages up to 3.
