This soft, light-infused rhyming picture book follows an inquisitive child on a pastel-blue sleigh ride with “Mr Santa”, asking artless questions (“Can you eat clouds?” “Is my brother naughty or nice?”) and waking with a full stocking to wonder: “Was it really real?” Sure to become a seasonal bedtime favourite.
