EASY READERS
Barnett, Mac

Jack and Santa

(2) K-3 Jack Book series. Illustrated by Greg Pizzoli. "But, Santa, can't you just let Jack be Jack?" And as revealed in this holiday-themed entry in Barnett and Pizzoli's easy-reader series, the answer to that question is nope. Why should Santa reward the bratty behavior Jack (along with readers) has reveled in over the course of six books? It's a lump of coal for you, kid. Will Jack see the error of his ways? Just when we think he might...nope again. Vigorous lines, a mock-scoldy tone, and a cheerful Christmas palette provide a seasonal treat for fans (but don't start newbies here; go back to Hi, Jack!, rev. 1/20).
