Santa Retires

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | July, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58089-293-3 $16.95
(4) K-3 Over the arduous toy-delivering aspect of his job, Santa and the missus head for resort-like Mistletoe Island. He's ready to declare it his permanent home when he learns that his elves are shirking their duties. The story has a certain obviousness, but the premise and the art showing Santa doing predictably incongruous things (e.g., surfing with his reindeer) are both amusing.
