Bookroo's summary

Santa's love for snacks lands him in a tight spot—literally! Stuck in a chimney, his reindeer and a host of animals try to free him, but nothing works. Enter a tiny, clever mouse with a big idea. Can this little hero save Christmas and get Santa back on track? Discover the whimsical solution in this festive tale.

From the publisher

This playful picture book answers the age-old question: Just how does Santa shimmy up and down chimneys? Not very easily sometimes! When the rotund fellow with a sweet tooth overdoes it on the snacks, he gets stuck inside a chimney. The reindeer on the roof try pulling him out, to no avail. A dog, a cat, and some kittens try pushing from below, with no luck. It takes a tiny, ingenious mouse to come up with the way to POP! Santa out so that Christmas can go on. Good show–ho, ho, ho!
