How Murray Saved Christmas

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Catrow. On the night before Christmas, Edison Elf's invention (a boxing-glove-in-the-box) knocks Santa out cold. With the big guy out of commission, Edison must scare up a substitute, pronto. Murray Kleiner, North Pole Diner-owner, reluctantly fills the position. Reiss's irreverent send-up is told in singsongy rhyme. Catrow's expressive, cartoony illustrations complement the text.
