The Bailey kids are at the zoo when they notice a reindeer pen and a man that looks an awful lot like Santa. Can the kids help Santa and his reindeer get underway and save Christmas?

This book is a good example of fantasy because the story contains Santa Claus. Without Santa, this book would also be a great realistic fiction, because of how relatable it is to children. There are also great characters in this book. Eddie is the main character and he goes through a lot of development. In the beginning of the story he is rude and unkind to his friends. By the end, Eddie realizes that it is important to be nice to friends. ( )
