Finally Santa collects them all. But now Mouse is missing. She’s stuck in a tree and has to be rescued.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
When Santa's bag accidentally falls overboard, not even the repeated warnings of all Santa's animal friends ("Careful, Santa!") prevent an ensuing series of mishaps in Sykes's (Dora's Eggs) tale of a windy Christmas Eve. Santa soon tumbles out of the sleigh ("landing on his bottom"), slips on a frozen pond and so on. But when he can't find his little mouse helper, it's Santa's turn to sound the warning and help her to safety. Warnes's (Scaredy Mouse) chipper artwork, complete with lots of whooshy brush strokes for wind and snow, help make the most of the story. Ages 3-6.

My sons new favorite book and author.,
By DD67 "babyonahill" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Careful, Santa! (Hardcover)
How much fun to read Julie sykes and Tim Warnes books. Santa has many silly accidents. His animal friends try to help, but no matter what, Santa keeps having problems. Even the little mouse that rides along in Santa's sleigh becomes stuck in a tree after the big Crash. Santa and his animal friends gather up all the spilled gifts and rescue the little mouse before taking flight again. "Santa scrambled to his feet. The presents were scattered far and wide and he hurried to pick them up. He didn't notice the frozen pond."
Nice pictures and a very cute story.
