The magic of the holidays and the magic of Disney combine in this charming Christmas tale!

Inspired by a 1932 Walt Disney Silly Symphony animated short, the Santa's Toy Shop Little Golden Book was originally published in 1950. In this delightful story, Santa wants time to play with all the wonderful toys he and the elves have made, but he's just too busy--until Mrs. Claus gives him an idea!

Disney animator Al Dempster and the Walt Disney Studio artists created a holiday classic we are proud to reissue as a Little Golden Book--for the first time in over 20 years. Great for kids 2 to 5 and collectors of all ages!
Al Dempster (1911–2001) was a legend in the Disney animation department. He worked on classic films such as Mary Poppins, The AristoCats, and The Jungle Book.  His animation was later adapted and published in several Disney Little Golden Books, including Cinderella’s Friends and Santa’s Toy Shop.     View titles by Al Dempster
