This book will take you on a pretty fun business trip! My favorite part of this book was the lesson that giving is better than receiving. I also think this book is a fun twist, getting to know Santa's sister!

Auntie Claus was a staple in our house growing up, so it has a special place in my heart, but it's well deserved, because this book is phenomenal. The story is masterfully told, the amazing illustrations add an additional layer to the text, and being reminded of the most important rule of Christmas ("It is far better to give than to receive.") is never a bad idea. This is one I'm happy to read over and over and over again.
