Santa's Helpers

Spiral-bound
(Briles & Associates Publishing, Dec. 18, 1987)
Santa's Helpers is written in a traditional vein - no Santas swimming off Miami Beach or attending conferences in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo. No, this is an old-fashion, family-friendly story that will warm your heart and enrich your Christmas Holidays for years to come. Beautifully printed in two-colors on high-quality speckeled brown paper. Spiral bound, 30-pages (including cover), eighteen delightful illustrations, and three gatefold pages for added enjoyment. The story answers four questions: 1: Why is Santa's beard artifical? Answer: Santa's beard is real! But because newly appointed Santa's Helpers don't always have nice full beards, the Elves make beards for them to wear until they can grow one that Santa approves of. 2: Why are some toys made by toy companies like Tonka, Fisher Price and Mattel? The elves can't keep up with production, so Santa contracts out for many of the toys -- always, however, under his close supervision. 3: How does Santa know where everyone lives? He uses a computer, and 4: Why are there so many Santas? Well, it was Mrs. Clause's idea, but Santa didn't come to the decision to run a Help Wanted ad until thinking about it over night.
