Ideal for slightly older picturebook readers

How the Elephants Saved Christmas is a charming holiday picturebook that blends traditional holiday themes with a positive message of cultural diversity, disability, and endangered species. When Santa and his reindeer fall from the sky and get stuck in a watering hole in Africa, Santa must find a way back to the North Pole before sunrise to protect the magic of Christmas. Fortunately, wild elephants and the boy who lives with them come to the rescue; now, Santa must save them in turn when drums sound out peril for the elephants. The warm color illustrations complement the involved narrative, which is sufficiently text-heavy that How the Elephants Saved Christmas is ideal for slightly older picturebook readers or for adults to read aloud to children.
