Olivia Beckman.
In a letter to Santa, rambunctious cat Scalawag touts his "outstanding" behavior before requesting a video game rather than more dignity-sapping catnip mice. Increasingly disruptive mishaps compel Scalawag to send follow-up letters, deflecting blame. Lively, loose-lined art captures the mischievous feline's chutzpah and the unfolding holiday slapstick. The Christmas spirit shines through--eventually--with human Miss Violet defending her pet. Appreciative Scalawag's Christmas Eve letter makes for a satisfying coda.
