It’s Christmas Eve morning, and Santa Claus is still in bed! He’s feeling stuffy and sneezy and slow as a yeti. Will Christmas have to be canceled? Not this year! Because Mrs. Claus is ready to take the reins in Santa’s place. With a plan in mind, Mrs. Claus assembles the crew, maps out the route, and preps the sleigh. Then, with a snap of the reins, she shoots off into the night. Delivering gifts all over the world without Santa’s magic won’t be easy, but Mrs. Claus proves she has some holiday sparkle of her own…
With lively rhyming text and adorable artwork, this delightful Christmas adventure will get kids into the holiday spirit.

A sweet story about how Mrs. Claus saves Christmas. Santa is not feeling well, so without hesitation Mrs. Claus jumps in to help. She braves her way through some tough weather and some other obstacles, but at the end she has delivered all the toys and saves Christmas! It was so beautifully illustrated and the rhyming text makes for a perfect read aloud! A perfect Christmas book that both children and adults alike will love!
