Santa needs a new reindeer in this third hilarious Christmas must-have picture book, from the duo who brought you Santa's New Beard and Santa's New Sleigh!
One week to go 'till Christmas Day,
The final touches underway,
A ribbon here,
a flourish there,
And presents piled up everywhere.
Santa smiled. 'What could go wrong'
He didn't have to wait too long . . .
Out of the sky a whirling blur,
Of antlers, legs and soft brown fur,
Came crashing through the workshop roof,
And that's how Rudolph sprained his hoof . . .
Oh no! Another Christmas disaster! The sleigh can't fly without Rudolph. Luckily, head engineer Lizzie is on hand to help . . . introducing ROBO-REINDEER! Christmas is saved once more.
