In his note to Santa, young ninja Maxwell (Ninja!) claims he doesn't want anything this year, but "make sure you sit on this RED CHAIR! P.S. I hope you can't read minds." Chung's sly comic-panel illustrations reveal what the nimble text doesn't: Maxwell's stealthily rigged traps. His snares are effective, but not on his intended victim. "Papa? Those are Santa's cookies!"
