The Man Who Wore All His Clothes

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Katharine McEwen. When there is a burglary at the local bank, Mrs. Gaskitt the taxi driver, her husband the department store Santa, and their twins become heroes by outwitting and capturing the thief. Ahlberg's tale starts out disjointedly but eventually builds to a satisfying and dramatic conclusion. Talking appliances and other humorous touches add appeal. The illustrations are bright, breezy, and well suited to the text.
