The Train That Saves Christmas — Dan Ryan

Saving Christmas is what every child wants to hear or read! Sam and his friends receive a visit from Jingle, Santa Claus' elf who tells them that a train with all of the children's letters to Santa has been left behind at the station. Jingle wants Sam and his friends to help save Christmas. The group hook up the little train and fly to the North Pole where they deliver the children's letters to Santa. Sam Sam is a four year old boy whose imagination sees his cubby friends, Marzipan (his faithful cat â€" who also talks); Spoon, Dish and Tock (the cubby wall clock) come to life and join him on his adventures. This early learning book is superbly illustrated and children will want to read the story over and over, as they too will imagine sharing Sam Sam's adventure.
