Santa tries his hand at many jobs before becoming the world's greatest gift giver. He tries cleaning chimneys but he is so neat that he never gets covered in soot, so no one believes him when the job is done. Santa tries working for the post office, but he delivers packages in the middle of the night and no one was glad to see him at that hour. He even works at a zoo but gets a little too friendly with the reindeer. Read along and discover how Santa finally finds the perfect job!
