Miracle on 133rd Street

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. When the Christmas Eve roast won't fit in their tiny oven, José suggests they use a pizza oven; he and Papi head to Regular Ray's Pizzeria. Nearly everyone is curmudgeonly along the way until the roast's aroma knocks some holiday cheer into them. A cheerful Christmas story notable for its nonchalantly multiethnic cast and vibrant urban setting, brought to life in bright, swirling illustrations.
