What Almost Happened to Santa — Addy H

On Christmas Eve, while the rest of the workshop helpers are busy making final preparations for Santa's night flight around the world, Little Rosie has let her curiosity lead her into a secret back room filled with damaged and unfinished toys. Thinking no one will mind, she chooses one for herself -- ignoring the confusing warning label attached to it.

Soon, weird mishaps are delaying Santa and his team, preventing their departure. Senior helper Ralph tries to solve the mystery behind these sudden problems, but he knows he's missing a key piece of evidence. Can Ralph and Rosie work together to find the answer before Santa has to disappoint all of the girls and boys patiently waiting for their gifts?

A holiday classic in the making, What Almost Happened to Santa is a whimsical tale -- accompanied by delightful illustrations -- that blends the joy of Christmas with the thrill of a mystery. The story is even followed by a question-and-answer section so you can discuss the puzzling events with your kids.
