What did Santa use to pull his sleigh before he had reindeer? Dinosaurs!
Santa Claus reminisces about "the good old days" when dinosaurs pulled his sleigh. The Tyrannosaurus rex wouldn't stop licking Santa, the Pterosaurs flew too high, and the Maiasauras ate presents when no one was looking! Santa thinks the reindeer are a treasure. But when he and his old dinosaur pals look in on a little girl who's sleeping, he admits that sometimes he misses "the good old days."Children will love meeting Santa's prehistoric friends in Jerry Pallotta's silly and sweet new classic.
