The Kringle family cookbook has gone missing, and Santa can't remember the recipe for the special cookies he makes every year. But where can he turn for help?

But it's just days before Christmas, and the Kringle family cookbook is nowhere to be found! If he has no recipe, he can't bake his cookies. And if he can't bake his cookies, Christmas might as well be canceled! Luckily, a little girl finds the cookbook and, with the help of America's Test Kitchen, inspires families from all over the world to work together to make sure that Santa and his family have a happy holiday.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A community steps forward to save Christmas in this cheerful story with a light bookish twist. Each year, Santa makes the same recipe for "deep, dark chocolate cookies with a snow-white exterior: Krinkle Cookies." Only this year, he can't find the Kringle family cookbook, and he worries that "everyone will be disappointed" without the traditional treat. Meanwhile, when two Boston siblings visit the library at Christmastime, young recipe enthusiast Abigail discovers an unusual recipe book none other than Santa's cherished volume (nevermind how it got there). In this world, Santa and Mrs. Claus make broadcasts "live from the North Pole," and when it is revealed that the book is missing, Abigail takes action, heading to America's Test Kitchen to broadcast the recipe so families around the world can make them for Santa. Though the prominent featuring of the Test Kitchen is jarringly self-promotional, the story is a fun concept, and Tarkela's realistic digital illustration offers the pleasing details of a television studio. A cookie recipe is included. Ages 4 8.
