01

Artifact Overview

Santa's Busy Day follows jolly St. Nick as he looks for Blitzen, a lost reindeer. The book asks children to help Santa with his search. Readers turn pages to discover images that move and pop up; or find things to do--move cutouts of Santa's reindeer or color a picture of Blitzen. Books like this entertained young kids and encouraged them to enjoy reading.
