      About This Book

      Bailey and Sayles deliver a heartwarming tale
      Jeoffry thinks of others, so Santa thinks of him

      A velvet snout pops through the snow,
      not knowing which way to go.
      There must be something I can do
      to help a lost and hungry shrew.

      Jeoffry is all cat, and he's all heart. And when he sets out with the farmer and his dog to find the perfect Christmas tree, it shows. With the tree safely in the farmer's sleigh, Jeoffry is enticed into play by a gang of crows. Soon dusk falls, and he finds himself far from home. Jeoffry sleeps. Then, because he's Jeoffry, he awakens at Santa's side - and becomes Santa's helper as they deliver a Christmas feast to all the birds and beasts of the land. In gentle, sparkling verse, Mary Bryant Bailey introduces Jeoffry, a captivating cat with a winning way, and Elizabeth Sayles applies her own magic to present Jeoffry's exquisite natural world and his wondrous Christmas.
