Poppy Bell had one very important job: write a letter to Santa. But first came a snow fort. Then a snowman named Gerald. Then hot cocoa with extra marshmallows. By the time Poppy finally picked up her pencil, the sky was turning pink.

She wrote Dear Santa, and then she heard it: jingle-jingle-jingle! The tiny silver Elf Post sleigh was zooming down the lane, scooping up every letter in town. Poppy raced outside waving her half-finished letter. Too late! The sleigh swooped into the clouds and was gone.

Poppy's chin wobbled. Then it lifted. β€œIf my letter can't go to the North Pole,” she said, β€œI'll take it myself!” She packed her letter and a flask of cocoa, left a note on the fridge, and tiptoed past Dad, who was humming behind a mountain of wrapping paper.

At the garden gate, Poppy spotted two ways to get north. Her old red sled leaned by the gate. And on the fence post sat Gus, the big snow goose, giving her a friendly honk. How should Poppy travel to the North Pole?
