The Man of the House at Huffington Row: A Christmas Story

32 pp. October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-15-201580-9 $$16.00
(4) 1-3 Francis O'Shea wants to cheer his sister, grieving since their father's death. When he's unable to finish a snowman cr_che outside their house on Christmas Eve, the kind people of Huffington Row lend a hand. The "man of the house" theme is weak, but the Depression-era story is accompanied by watercolor and pencil illustrations that aptly convey the tender mood.
