........................................................A few years ago I was drawing in my sketch book and drew the image of a little elf with his tough stuck on the north pole (the back cover of the book). I kept thinking about that little guy, so I decided to tell his mis adventuer in a picture book. It's kind of TOOL TIME meets RUDOLF THE RED NOSE REINDEER. His name is Gary ,and he's on his way to Santa's work shop for the first time,
