The Magic of Stardust

Book excerpt: It was during the Autumn season that found Santa Claus busy reviewing toy samples in the northern Workshop office. He was taking longer than usual examining the new toy designs. He was working on a Special doll but was having difficulty with the design. One busy day he heard some soft music floating through the air which reminded him of music that was typically played for ballet dancers. He thought making his doll a ballet dancer was a great idea. He would consult with Tipper and Tapper, his two chief helpers. The three of them discussed the project and decided to depart the Workshop to search out a space that would defy interruption. The discussion resulted in the three of them finding a space where no one would bother them. Four reindeer later, the three of them loaded a small sleigh with baskets of nibble food and some treats for the few reindeer who would take them to wherever. Santa, Tipper and Tapper took off singing and hohoing. They were enjoying the ride into the highest of the spin-whipped clouds. Then, a great white cloud through which they were passing suddenly split open and an explosive coloring of sparkling dust was gently floating down from the huge white cloud. Santa brought the sleigh to a stop on top of the huge cream-puff cloud. It was time to gather the beautiful sparkling dust. DO read the story to find out what happened next!
