Behind the scenes
-
We asked you first. In September: cozy snow creatures or classic Christmas charm? This book has both.
-
Snow creatures. Penguins, narwhals, a Yeti and wolves.
-
Christmas charm. Golden Christmas pines and little dragons in a Fair Isle pattern.
Fun facts to share at bedtime
-
Penguins can't fly through the air, but they zoom underwater, using their flippers like wings.
-
A narwhal's tusk is a tooth, a long spiral one that can grow to about 10 feet.
-
Wolves live in family packs and look out for each other, like the wolves guarding the forest.
-
Fair Isle is a tiny island in Scotland's Shetland Islands, famous for colorful knitted sweaters. Our dragon print borrows the look.
The heart of the story
This time, Santa is the one who needs rescuing, and Mrs. Claus leads the way. It takes the whole team:
Christmas was saved with teamwork, bravery, and a little magic.
Ask at bedtime Which job would you want on the rescue team?
The characters (and their pines)
The penguins, narwhals, Yeti and wolves each have a print, and so do the North Pole pines and the little Fair Isle dragons.
Read it together
It's a sturdy board book with rounded corners, so it holds up to little hands and a lot of rereading.
