Li'l Santa

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Thierry Robin. In a wordless comic-strip book with as many as sixteen panels per page, Santa discovers he has no trash to use as raw material for his toy-making machine, so he goes to the big city to get some. Although the pictures are sometimes hard to "read," leaving readers to puzzle out the plot, they're Asterix-colorful and filled with numerous funny details or bits of slapstick.
