(4) K-3 When a blizzard scatters the Christmas lawn ornaments of Candy Cane Lane, an abandoned choirboy figure is accidentally sent to the dump. There he meets other discarded decorations, and they embark on a journey back. Despite cheerful digital illustrations and an original concept, the overlong story (reminiscent of holiday TV specials) is further hampered by choppy text.
