      Category: Picture Books

      There are just a few days to go before Christmas, and everyone’s busy putting up decorations, preparing food and getting ready for the big day. Then comes the shock news – Santa’s cancelled Christmas. Santa had so many disasters last year that he can’t face it again, and he’s quit. The elves try everyth ing, but they can’t get him to change his mind. In this Aotearoa Christmas picture book, the kids come up with a clever plan and amazing gadgets to get Christmas back on and Santa back in the sleigh delivering presents. English Edition This is an Aotearoa New Zealand Christmas story, complete with jandals and the barbie, hangi and hot summer days, and Kiwi ingenuity. The children are the heroes of the story as they set to work and make gadgets to help Santa with each of the problems he encountered last Christmas, such as losing the sleigh keys, finding his Santa suit had `shrunk' (again), having trouble accessing his naughty and nice lists because of IT issues, and getting stressed out in celestial traffic jams. The story has the setting and trimmings of a Kiwi Christmas that children in the southern hemisphere will recognise. It is full of humour as Santa encounters glitches on his Christmas deliveries and the children make a survival kit for Santa by repurposing everyday objects.  This picture book is for children 4-8 years old. It is available in te reo Maori and English editions. ...Show more
