Snowed Under and Other Christmas Confusions

(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").

There's some fun to be had, but Peggy Parish handled the conceit better.
