The Great Christmas Crisis

24 pp. | Sterling | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-8632-7 $14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jannie Ho. Santa goes undercover in his workshop to find out why his elves are so worn-out. The trouble, he discovers, is their workload. His fix? Stretch out the days and make room for laughter. Norman borrows "The Night Before Christmas" form to mostly good effect, but the meter isn't perfect. Thick glossy pages feature digital illustrations with comical North Pole details.
