K-3
Illustrated by
Steve Björkman.
Christmas is looming and everyone's sharing gift lists except for Kari ("Santa knows," she says). The family tries to get her wishes out of her, and even D.B., their roof-climbing bloodhound, wonders, but Kari keeps tight-lipped. When Christmas Day arrives, it turns out that Kari was right after all. Lighthearted illustrations move the story along to an ending that lacks logic.
