This charming Christmas-time story is told in this edition, in both English and Spanish on the same page. Illustrations are nearly the same as the first edition, but the larger format allows readers to enjoy both languages in the same place. And, this edition has a special addition to the illustrations - one that makes it unique to St. Augustine, Florida. Snowball is the charming little bear who is bored from being in his room during the cold winter days and sneaks away during a snowstorm to visit a friend. Snowball gets lost and finds himself alone, very cold, and frightened. Determined to find his way home or find help, he discovers Santa's toy workshop, just before it is buried in an avalanche! He is determined to free Santa and the hard-working elves and is busy digging them out when he is found by his parents and Mr. Walrus. Can they free Santa in time? Snowball's reward for helping Santa is one every child would enjoy. 3
