Illustrated by
Lee Wildish.
Reagan and Wildish's (How to Babysit a Grandpa) latest how-to warns would-be Santa-snatchers not to get crazy: no lassoing, for instance. Instead, listen for sleigh bells, lure him with cookies, etc. Letters to Santa on the endpapers fit with digital illustrations that look almost hand-drawn, creating a sense that it's all up to the kids--even if alert readers notice the winking parents.
