Pop quiz: How does Santa deliver his presents to good educators on Christmas Eve? Keep your eyes on your own book and find the answer!
Nothing compares to the excitement of children as Christmas approaches. Imagine the havoc in classrooms across the country on the last days of school before the holiday!
This pedagogical twist on the Christmas classic will delight teachers (and even students) everywhere. The traditional trappings of Christmas at school-the Christmas pageant, a visit to a local nursing home, crafts, and the room mothers' party-all end in chaos, while the teachers struggle to maintain order, and, after school, get their own shopping done. In a whimsical touch, Santa Claus arrives in his flying school bus to save the day. Teachers are sure to see themselves in this humorous parody based on the true stories of their peers.

Rice, James: - Author/illustrator James Rice (1934-2004) produced sixty books, including the illustrations for Pelican's treasured The Night Before Christmas Series. Rice's first book, the well-loved classic Cajun Night Before Christmas(R), has more than 750,000 copies in print. Young readers can enjoy more of Gaston(R)'s adventures in Gaston(R) Goes to Mardi Gras and sample Rice's other children's stories with favorites such as Texas Jack at the Alamo. With more than 1.5 million copies of his books in print, Rice ranks among the nation's best-selling creators of children's books, receiving awards from Printer Industries of America and the Children's Book Council, among others. Years after his death, Rice's family found the art and text Gaston(R) Joins the Circus, and this discovery has brought Gaston(R) back for one more adventure!
