This was an early Christmas present for my granddaughter.  It had to be an early present because Chippy has to be there on the days leading up to  Christmas for your child to be able to enjoy finding him in a different location each day, and on Christmas day he must return to the North Pole to help Santa until the next Christmas season.  I found this to be a very endearing story and my granddaughter who is 6 absolutely loved it.
