This charming seek-and-find story follows a persistent narrator trying to spot Santa as he prepares for the big night.

It captures the joy of the holiday through a secular, whimsical lens, making it a wonderful choice for building pre-reading visual literacy and sharing a giggle-filled snuggle before bed.
