Don't Park on the Roof — Barbara Bustetter Falk

High on a New York City rooftop Santa Claus slides down a chimney with his sack of toys. It is his last stop before the reindeer fly him home to the North Pole. But when Santa returns to the roof, the reindeer and the sleigh are gone. He takes off on a bus in pursuit and then transfers to a horse drawn carriage. When the trail goes dead in Times Square, he switches to a leaky party balloon for an air search that ends with a scary landing. Even a tip from the Statue of Liberty doesn't lead to his reindeer. Just when it seems all hope is lost, Santa finds out that sometimes the wrong road guides you home.
