Description

Not every child welcomes the arrival of Santa Claus. The gentle humour of this book by a top author/artist team is the perfect solution for children afraid of Santa. Emily loves Christmas but there is something about it that makes her heart sink, and that something is Santa Claus. Emily wants to block up the chimney to prevent Santa entering the house. But her mom inspires her to find another solution. Eventually, Emily writes Santa a note telling him to come in through the back door and to go no farther than the kitchen table! Afterwards, Emily is so pleased with Santa that she decides that from now on, he may enter the house and even take a nap on the sofa if he is tired.
