One last fun Christmas book. Can you imagine the panic if Santa were to lose his sleigh? How would he deliver gifts? Would Christmas be ruined for children everywhere? Fortunately, catastrophe is avoided in this cute look at what might happen were Santa's sleigh to go missing on, of all nights, Christmas Eve. If you're familiar with the other books of the series, I doubt you'll be surprised who is the cause. Bucky, of course, but much panic and searching and worry ensue before Bucky and a couple pals are spied....on radar, of all things. Well, I guess that isn't too much of a stretch since they do track Santa's route on Christmas Eve nowadays. Needless to say, Christmas is saved.
As with the other books in the series, the illustrations are a delight. Wait till you see Mrs. Claus' snazzy sports car! A lesson is even taught: Don't take what doesn't belong to you, no matter how good your intentions. A fun read although I didn't find it quite as entertaining as the others in the series I've read. Still a delight, however. Phew, Bucky. What mischief will you find to get into next?
