"A mystery waiting at the North Pole!
Can Santa solve it before Christmas Eve?”
Oh no! One snowy Christmas season, Santa discovers that his reindeer have run away! With time running short, the elves spring into action — gathering every kind of animal they can find to try out for the sleigh team. From penguins to polar bears, and tigers to porcupines, the North Pole turns into a fur and feathers, laughter and chaos!
But as each hopeful helper takes a turn, Santa soon realizes they must be just right — not too small, not too slow, able to stay warm, and fast enough to fly through the night. Page by page, the list narrows down until only five remain… and Santa must make his most important decision yet: Who will pull the sleigh in the reindeer’s absence?
