When children read Santa's Toy Shop they will read the story of Santa Claus and his schedule on Christmas Eve.

I built much of my knowledge about Christmas and Santa Clause came from this book. Coming across this 1982 reprint of this 1950 classic was a real joy. This will be book to pass down to the next generation.

I remember reading this when I was a kid - or at least the illustrations are very familiar to me. The story is fairly simple - it describes Santa's workshop at the North Pole, all the different departments: dolls, games, trains, etc. The illustrations show the elves cavorting merrily with the toys
It's a moderately cute story, but what really makes it enjoyable to me are the nostalgic-feeling illustrations. The book says it was illustrated by the "Walt Disney Studio" and it does look very typical of Disney. I wonder if it was ever made into an animated movie or something? It'd be perfect for a cute Christmas special.

The book continues with Santa making his Christmas deliveries and then stopping at his final delivery and taking time to enjoy and play with the toys he's left.
