Santa's Toy Shop (Disney)

by Walt Disney Company and Al Dempster

Book Overview

The magic of the holidays and the magic of Disney combine in this charming Christmas tale!

Inspired by a 1932 Walt Disney Silly Symphony animated short, the Santa's Toy Shop Little Golden Book was originally published in 1950. In this delightful story, Santa wants time to play with all the wonderful toys he and the elves have made, but he's just too busy--until Mrs. Claus gives him an idea!

Disney animator Al Dempster and the Walt Disney Studio artists created a holiday classic we are proud to reissue as a Little Golden Book--for the first time in over 20 years. Great for kids 2 to 5 and collectors of all ages!

Customer Reviews

Just the way I remembered it!

This is a sturdier version of the Little Golden Book I had back in the 70s! Very cute- the pictures are exactly the way I remember them!

A Childhood Delight! Highly Recommended!

"Santa's Toy Shop" was one of the three "must read" stories my kids wanted on Christmas Eve (the others were "The Night Before Christmas" and Luke 2:1-20). This book has great colorful drawings and a fun story that the little ones just love. Now that my kids are too old for stories on Christmas Eve, this book (and others) gets placed out on a coffee table and they still sometime stop to look at it. A fun Christmas book! Highly Recommended!

Cute Christmas story with a refreshing twist!

Santa is up to all the work that makes Christmas merry for all of us. But, how to really enjoy it, himself? Mrs. Santa comes up with a great idea. Why not stop off at the last house on his route and play for a while! Children will delight in this little book and beg to hear it again and again. Cute illustrations!

Three Year Old Favorite

This reissued Golden book will be a hit with three and four year olds! The busy elves, the too-busy-to-play Santa, and his solution (to play at the last house on the route) will make grownups smile even after the billionth reading.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

This is a refreshing Christmas tale of Santaand his beloved elves. Busy in his home at the North pole, the story shows you all the wonders of Christmas toys being made.Santa was so busy that he never got to play with any of the toys, that is when Mrs. Clause had an idea. "Why not stop at the very last house on your list and play a while." she told Santa. What a wonderful idea! Santa thought and smiled.A delightful children's story with colorful illustrations and a hope that maybe youwill be the last house that Santa stops at next year! You never know!
