A thrilling Christmas board book adventure with pages to peek through and gatefolds to open! From Christopher Franceschelli, creator of the Abrams Block Book series, comes the Abrams Trail Tale series, taking readers on unforgettable holiday-themed adventures. In this Christmas story, follow two children on their way to Santas workshop as they travel through the city, into a gleaming forest, and across the glittering snowscape. Young readers will delight in the clever die-cut surprises throughout and the dramatic quadruple gatefold at the end that folds out into a special, festive surprise.
The images are charming, from the wide-eyed deer of the forest to busy elves in the workshop. * Kirkus Reviews *
