Translated by Elizabeth D. Crawford.
Dormouse Gus sleeps through Santa's visits; this year, he begs a squirrel to wake him when Santa arrives. Large, softly colored illustrations capture the forest animals' excitement as they watch Santa appear. Generously filling the large pages, the pictures are warm with autumn's preparations and hushed under the chill of winter. Originally titled Wake Up, Dormouse, Santa Claus Is Here.
