Turner Reading Level: Primary Rating: Excellent Genre: Christmas stories; Subject: Christmas-Juvenile Fiction; Santa Claus-Juvenile fiction; Book-reviews; Christmas almost didn't happen one year. It's TRUE ! Rotten old Warrie Ransom bought out the North Pole and Christmas--lock, stock and barrel! He mass-produced strange and awful toys like Weird Wally Warmunga the Warrior and Princess Pee Pee Poo Poo. Toys no child would ever really want. But then Warrie Ransom's trucks got stuck in the snow, it took a child, Santa's daughter, to save Christmas with a little help from Santa's reindeer and elves. Absolutely delightful illustrations, and a story to warm any child's heart - who wouldn't want to be the one to save Christmas? Any child who believes in Santa, the North Pole and flying reindeer would love this book! 48 pp. Children's Book and Play Review, January 2005
