Santa and the Sugar Glider

It's Christmas Eve, and Snap the sugar glider is practising his moves. He wants to be the greatest flyer in the rainforest, but the other animals just laugh at him.

When Santa makes an emergency landing, all the animals get a chance to audition to fill in for Comet, who is injured. Is this Snap's chance to shine?

A heart-warming story full of Christmas magic, from the team that brought you the CBCA shortlisted book Bat Vs Poss.

'This delightful tale is an ideal stocking filler.' - The Herald Sun

“This book takes the narrative that "size doesn't matter" and gives it a sprinkling of Christmas cheer. When Santa has a "sleigh emergency", he calls on Australian wildlife to lend a hand. Snap, the tiny sugar glider, puts up his hand to save the day but faces opposition from the likes of a kangaroo, a cassowary, a goanna and even a crocodile. This delightful tale is an ideal stocking filler. - The Herald Sun”
