The story

A little owl off to the North Pole

Comet, the young reindeer, brings bad news: Santa is lost in a snowstorm. At the North Pole the sun doesn't rise in winter, so searching there is extra hard. Luckily, there's a little owl who loves to help.

So Pip comes along on the flight to the far north, in search of Santa's trail. On the way, Pip meets a lost penguin, two playful polar bear cubs and a walrus who snores very loudly.

Everything is read aloud, so even children who can't read yet can play all by themselves. If your child gets stuck for a moment, Pip gives a hint automatically.
