Bah! Humbug?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lorna Balian & Lecia Balian. Margie's big brother, Arthur, says Santa Claus is a "big fat humbug." He sets a trap for Santa, and the children wait by the fireplace. In the humorous wordless pages that follow, the pictures show Arthur asleep while Santa fills the stockings and shares his milk and cookies with Margie. The newly colorized illustrations have a synthetic-looking quality.
