(2) K-3 Shark! the herald angels sing. Santa Shark (who builds toys with his “eelves” and has a sleigh pulled by magical seahorses) is coming, and shark Edgar intends to be prepared. He’s full of ideas (making “Christmas cods,” singing “Christmas corals”) until the question of how to make it snow underwater leaves him at sea -- but a crab friend provides a creative solution. Let the many, many puns wash over you in this sea-set Santa story with buoyantly cartoony illustrations to match. “Jingle all the waaaves!”
