Lyle the crocodile and his family are enjoying the Christmas season, but their friend Mr. Grumps is in the dumps, especially when his cat runs away to escape the gloom at home. The complex plot--which involves a cat lady, Lyle's old friend Hector P. Valenti, and Lyle's arrest for housebreaking (he's actually housecleaning)--ends well in this perfect holiday book.
