There is Something Weird in Santa's Beard

Year 2 and I really enjoyed this book. I hope you do too!


Santa brings joy and gifts to children around the world. He loves snacking on the treats children leave for him on Christmas Eve, but he isn't quite as interested in washing his face and combing his beard. 

This year, the result isn't just gross - it grows into something so monstrous that it destroys all the toys in Santa's workshop. Will it become the blob that ate Christmas? Or will the reindeer's secret talent save the day?

Have fun reading this book!
