When mouse Robert, fascinated by snow, accidentally falls from his window and into a snowdrift, he's delighted--until he gets lost. He's saved by a "big animal" readers will recognize as Santa Claus, who surprises Robert with a fantastic gift. While they don't obscure the limp story line, Lin's details are nifty--holes in Robert's discarded-boot house are plugged with jigsaw-puzzle pieces.
