Synopsis

What a disaster! Santa Claus has overslept! He leaps out of bed and rushes around madly, but everything seems to go wrong. First he cannot find his boots, then he has to dig a path through the snow to the stable, get out the sleigh, feed and harnass the reindeer, and load the sack full of presents. But the sack won't fit through the door, and the sleigh is stuck, and Santa gets more and more behind schedule until it looks as if he won't make it in time for Christmas.

From Kirkus Reviews:

Wake Up, Santa Claus! ($15.95; PLB $15.88; Sept. 16, 1996; 32 pp.; 1-55858-605-9; PLB 1-55858-606-7): Santa oversleeps, can't find his boots, forgets to shovel the walkway, feed the reindeer, bag the presents. Then comes the big clue: Santa's sleigh runners are cracked and rusted. A bad dream is what we have here, and Santa wakes to his alarm clock and finds everything shipshape. Despite Santa's frantic behavior, readers will soon be able to predict that everything that can go wrong will go wrong, and may guess that there's a misunderstanding somewhere. This is best served to Pfister's many fans, who won't see the framed picture of Rainbow Fish on the wall as a not-so-subtle piece of cross-promotion.
