The Year the Corgis Saved Christmas by Sherri L. Smith

Illustrated by Nidhi Chanani

Published by Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers:

A chorus of corgis soars to Santa’s rescue in a Christmas picture book classic-in-the-making—perfect for fans of Pig the Elf and Dasher: How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever.

Corgis love Christmas, especially Sergeant Major Barkington. It’s his forever home day! But then he hears rumbles and mumbles that Santa’s reindeers are going on strike. Christmas is in jeopardy! No indoor trees or crinkly paper seas? No hams a-baking or family-making? Sergeant Major Barkington must do something.

Thankfully, he and his fellow corgis have a super-secret skill that just might help them save this special day for everyone…if they can make it to the North Pole and around the world in time. Can these corgis pull off a howl-iday miracle and give the reindeers a well-deserved Christmas break?
