This book is filled with wonder. It takes little children to the North Pole, where Santa Claus Claus, elves and raindeers live together in a cozy village in Lapland.
Page by page, all of which are beautifully illustrated in color, you will see how Santa and his eager team prepare for the big night of Christmas Eve. All year around they receive letters from children with their Christmas wishes. Elves are visiting different parts of the world to check if children behave well, brush their teeth, do their homework and respect their parents.
After returning and reporting to Santa, they start their important task of making all kinds of toys in the big workshop. Meanwhile, the younger elves go to school to learn geography so they won't mix up Ireland with Iceland and Austria with Australia when the gifts are delivered.
The raindeers are cared for by their shepherds as they get ready for the big Christmas night when they pull Santa's sled and fly all over the Earth... The book tells in words and humorous pictures about Santa's journey with the gifts. And, finally, upon returning he finds his own gift on Christmas morning.
Everyone in the village goes to the church and ends up celebrating in Santa's home, where Mrs. Claus plays the piano and elves sing carols...
