Description

This book is about Santa Claus's horse Snow Cloud. Snow Cloud was Santa's first helper. His job was to
transport Santa around the North Pole and pull the sleigh and wagons used to transport toys from
one location to another. Snow Cloud was stronger than three horses together. He was much bigger
than any horse and was a beautiful white steed. His magnificent mane would flow in the breeze as
he galloped with ease around the North Pole. His tail reached the ground and was full and moved
as he danced to the Christmas music that played while elves worked on making toys. Eventually Santa
began to use reindeer to pull his sleigh on Christmas night, but Snow Cloud still had plenty to do.
He transported the elves and Santa around the North Pole in a wagon or the sleigh. When day was
done Snow Cloud had plenty of energy to play with the elves. The tiny elves would ride Snow Cloud
all through the village. In return for their rides the elves would wash and brush Snow Cloud. They would
have to stand on a ladder to reach his long and beautiful mane. His tail was always carefully
groomed by the elves daily. There was and never will be such a stunningly beautiful horse with not
nary a mean bone in his body. He was what all of us dream of when imagining the perfect horse.
