K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Marylin Hafner.
Getting underwear, contracting the mumps, and caroling with your tone-deaf family are three unfortunate scenarios featured in this easy-reader-format collection of Christmas poems. Each is witty, silly, and entertaining, and many pack punch lines with surprising, satisfying twists. The verses are now accompanied by Hafner's equally amusing illustrations, which animate the words for an extra kick of humor.
