For each day of the 12-day celebration, Santa is delivering tons of tremendous trains! From electric trains to maglevs to street cars, Santa is making this Christmas extra merry for train fans!

When the elves discover that Santa's sleigh is in a terrible state, they let their imaginations go wild—and soon there are sleighs of every kind, inspired by big rigs, motorcycles, zeppelins, and much more! The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and the celebrated illustrator of Michael Chabon's The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man team up for spirited vehicular silliness and classic Christmas cheer in this turbo-charged read-aloud destined to become a classic. Plus, this is the fixed format version, which looks almost identical to the print edition.

This theme is designed to explore the books and artwork of Jan Brett. Since many of her books have Christmas themes, one suggestion might be to begin the unit shortly before Christmas and then complete it after the Christmas break. There are complete lessons including reproducible pages, activities and questions for each of the following books: The Owl and The Pussycat, Happy Birthday Dear Duck, The Wild Christmas Reindeer, Christmas Trolls, Twelve Days of Christmas, Trouble With Trolls, The Mitten, The Hat, Annie and The Wild Animals, Comet's Nine Lives, Berlioz The Bear, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, Town Mouse, Country Mouse, Armadillo Rodeo, Fritz and The Beautiful Horses, and The First Dog. This Author Study provides a teacher and student section with a variety of activities, author biography, self-evaluation, story sequencing, and reader's theatre to create a well-rounded lesson plan.

From snowplows to tractors, take a trip to the Christmas tree farm to see all the trucks working hard in the winter! Pictures throughout the story help young Tonka fans learn new vocabulary!
