How the Little Yak Saved Christmas Phil Gioia 1st edition

There are only three days left until Christmas. Thousands of elves in Santa's huge workshops at the North Pole are busy, building the finest toys for all good little girls and boys, around the world. On Christmas Eve, Santa will once again make his famous, world-circling tour in a single night. Led by Rudolph with his red nose, Santa's famed team of nine champion reindeer will pull his huge sleigh, loaded with toys of every description. But Santa and Mrs Claus learn that one of the reindeer cannot join the team this Christmas. So they set out to find a replacement reindeer. Then, ALL of the reindeer come down with a malady known as 'Flying Reindeer Flu', and are grounded! For the first time since the very first Christmas, it appears that little girls and boys around the world may not receive any presents at all, on Christmas morning. It could be a disaster, but at the last minute, a cute little Yak steps in, and in a way that can only be appreciated by Phil's imaginative dialogue and writing, saves the day!
