During a Christmas Eve blizzard, McDuff the terrier hears night noises and repeatedly wakes his family to go out. Finally, they discover Santa, stuck in the garage, looking for a shovel. The book, appealing to both young children and adults, has cozy paintings that have an underlying humor and are as spunky as dear McDuff.
