Immerse yourself in a heartwarming Christmas adventure with Andrea Hyatt's The Christmas Gift. Santa comes into his workshop with a big announcement. He asks one of his hardworking elves to go into the woods and collect a Christmas gift from each of the animals for the baby reindeer, Ruby. Unwilling to leave the coziness and warmth of the workshop, none of the elves volunteers, except one. Elliot follows Santa's map and visits Brutus the Bear's cave, Roxie the Rabbit's burrow, Sammy the Squirrel's tree, and last, Rosie the Raccoon's dwelling. Disappointed with his outing, Elliot finally finds a gift for Ruby from Matilda, who gave him a nibble of cheese and her last Christmas cookie. Elliot, Matilda, and Santa were able to create a magical Christmas for little Ruby.
