Santa Claustrophobia

32 pp. | Price Stern | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8431-7756-X $$10.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Catrow. When Santa develops a fear of chimneys, his therapist Doc Holiday prescribes a vacation from Christmas. Doc and the other citizens of Stinky Cigars (all holiday characters such as Lincoln, Cupid, and the Groundhog) band together to cover for Santa, making a mess of things. Told in rhyme, Reiss's anticlimactic story is witty and irreverent, and Catrow's rich, cartoon illustrations are bustling with quirky characters and humor.
