Summary

Join Sarah and Mr Pottifer in their magical plant shop, where fantastical creatures grow on trees!

It's nearly Christmas Day when an unexpected visitor arrives – it's Santa, and he needs their help!

His reindeer are in bed with Antler Flu and without them, he can't deliver his presents on time. But growing well-behaved reindeer isn't as easy as it seems. . . and before long the mischevious creatures have created a rather MERRY MESS!

Can Sarah figure out a way to save Christmas before it's too late?

This rhyming story full of festive fun celebrates being different, and the importance of teamwork.
