The story starts when a man knocks at the door. A young girl has to trust in the magic of Christmas and have confidence that she has exactly what is needed to help Santa. Blue crystals, holiday spirit, and the entire family come together to save the Holidays in this breathtaking book! And... there's dogs. Dogs help save the day. I love it. This is the perfect family story for this season. It would make an exquisite read-aloud with everyone huddled around the fire, or a gift for that special child in your life. Even if they are not a big reader, any child would enjoy this wonderful story. This book will help any family get into the holiday spirit and brighten up anyone's day! I'm going to give this book five out of five stars.--Elena Rose "The Bookish Queen"

Santa and the Sled Dogs is a delightful holiday adventure that captures the magic, emotion, and joy of the season.... This book is filled with warmth, imagination, and the idea that believing in a little magic (and yourself) can make fantastical dreams come true. Sweet and beautifully rendered illustrations capture the wintery world and Christmas wonder. Santa and the Sled Dogs is a charming, uplifting read that's destined to become a holiday favorite.--Amy Guglielmo, author and illustrator of Touch the Art and What The Artist Saw series
