Santa is back for another Christmas journey across the world, and this time, he is loading his sleigh under the brilliance of the Northern Lights in the chilly Alaskan air. Armed with an ice scraper and snuggled inside his heavy red coat, Saint Nick and his elves prepare the team of flying caribou.
But the lead caribou Kotz is determined to get attention this year. He's tired of people thinking that reindeer pull the sleigh, and he's alerted the media and sent out press releases across the globe, seeking recognition and fame. It's up to Santa and the gentle, selfless reindeer Star to teach Kotz the true meaning of Christmas and to bring toys to all the boys and girls of the world.
Each caribou is named for an Alaskan town, and the book contains a pronunciation guide and trivia about caribou, Eskimos, and Alaska. With beautiful imagery and flowing rhymes, "Alaskan Night Before Christmas" is a wonderful addition to any holiday collection....
