Sammy Claws the cat wants to help Santa but he wants to nap even more.  After running onto the floor of Santa's workshop, he gets lost and falls asleep in a box.  Then he gets wrapped and loaded on the sleigh?  Will he end up up delivered to someone else's house?  When Santa gets robbed will he get stolen? You must read this book with rhyming verse to find out.  

I did like the rhyme and the really cute illustrations in the book.  I like cats and this one seemed as troublesome as the feline friends I have had so I laughed at him a bit.  This is my favorite Christmas season book and though it is really just a holiday tale, it is cute and will make a nice addition to my school collection.
