(3) K-3 Photographs by Per Breiehagen. Anja, who lives "so far north that the mothers never pack away the wool hats or mittens," dreams of becoming one of Santa's elves. She skis off through the tundra, meeting various animals who guide her to Santa. The story is old-fashioned, but the illustrations--large, clear photographs of a Swiss Miss lookalike--evoke the digital age, pointing to the timelessness of Christmastime wonder.
