(4) K-3 In this story, about a boy's fear that Santa Claus will be deterred by a snowstorm, each page spotlights one idiom (he helped his sister "trim the tree..." / "...and deck the halls"). Cursory sketchlike illustrations of people commingle with what appear to be color photos reflecting each idiom's literal meaning. There's some fun to be had, but Peggy Parish handled the conceit better.
