The Secret of Santa's Island

32 pp. | Dial | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3126-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 When Sam McGuffin hitches a ride in Santa's sleigh, he arrives not at the North Pole, but at Santa and his helpers' vacation island. There pajama-clad Sam first thanks a forgiving Mr. Claus for past gifts, then enjoys amusement park rides, beach time, and other R&R activities. The playful fantasy ends on a didactic note, but the lighthearted illustrations suit the mostly upbeat mood.
