Grab that marker and let’s save Christmas! The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning author of See the Cat and its sequels—and the creator of This Pirate Needs Your Help!. This Sheep Needs Your Help!, and This Superhero Needs Your Help!—is back to enlist helpers for the most wonderful day of the year.

Santa’s elves are way behind schedule for Christmas Eve, and they need YOU to help them get back on track. Just pick up the included dry-erase marker and jump in! There are toys to be finished up, gifts to be put in the right boxes, gingerbread cookies to decorate—not to mention baby reindeer to name, outfits for Mr. and Mrs. C’s much-needed vacation, and more. So crank up those drawing skills, prepare to match objects and follow mazes, and help Santa finish everything in the St. Nick of time. Whew! When you’re done, just wipe the pages clean with a damp paper towel—and you’re ready to do it all over again.
David LaRochelle is the creator of three other Draw & Erase Adventures: This Superhero Needs Your Help!, This Pirate Needs Your Help!, and This Sheep Needs Your Help! He is also the author of Isle of You, illustrated by Jaime Kim, as well as How to Apologize, Go and Get with Rex, Mr. Fox’s Game of “No!”, and the See the Cat series, all illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka. He lives in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
