Santa Dog: The Incredible Adventure of Santa and Denby (Book One)

When abandoned golden retriever Denby is rescued by Santa in the Nevada desert on Christmas Eve, he knows he has found the perfect family. But over the months between one Christmas and the next, Denby finds himself again and again doing what he has been told not to. Is it magic? Are his actions somehow tied to the injury he had when Santa found him? Or is he just a bad dog? With the help of a reindeer, some elves, and Santa himself, Denby finds that solving his own mystery could also mean saving Christmas.

This charming tale of Santa’s dog, Denby, is the first in the Adventures of Denby series.

Children say Denby is a great read-along Christmas story. Mothers and fathers say Denby encourages early reading development. Grandparents just say Denby teaches children courage and the value of an honest day's work.
