Description

Freddy Melcher is obsessed with Santa Claus, and this year he is determined to get the ultimate selfie.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a quick, funny holiday read for a kindergartner or early second-grader, this is it. The story follows Freddy Melcher, who's so convinced he can snap the perfect Santa selfie that he sets up a sneaky "stakeout" in his house, complete with a candy-cane trap and a cleverly hidden camera. The hijinks are gentle and playful, and the short chapters and large text make it a great choice for kids still building confidence in reading alone. Parents will appreciate that there's no scary stuff just a warm, goofy adventure that captures the magic of Christmas and the excitement of a kid's mission. If your little one loved "The Christmas Cat" or any silly holiday tale, they'll get a kick out of Freddy's quest.
