When eight- and eleven-year-old Chris and Holly Kerstman discover him wedged in their chimney, they decide to help the pup gets home before the last magical portal to the North Pole closes. The search for the portal around the town gets everyone in trouble including Jeek and Glendle, Santa\u2019s two elves, who\u2019ve been assigned to retrieve the pup back. Peppermint Bark is a complete darling as well as every child\u2019s dream pup with its ability to talk. The setting of the north pole and the town of Poinsettia with its dreamy Christmas does full justice to the holiday theme of the story. The troubles children and elves get into are both hilarious and amusing, and the ending is pleasantly satisfying.
