Illustrated by
Betsy Lewin.
It's Christmas Eve, and Farmer Brown (Click, Clack, Moo) is putting the final touches on his decorations. When he hears a "pitter-patter on the roof," he runs off to bed, believing Santa has arrived. But it's Duck attempting his own Santa-like entry. Lewin's watercolors, with their slapstick situations and expressive body language, work beautifully with Cronin's humorous ("Ho! Ho! Uh-oh") text.
