(3) K-3 Diminutive crocodile Croc and sophisticated city dog Melrose find themselves alone in the city on Christmas Eve. Their lonely stories proceed in parallel, until the two serendipitously collide at an ice-skating rink. The text's melancholy language is balanced by the muted illustrations on creamy paper, each a painstakingly composed scene, thoughtfully designed and rich with seasonal motifs.
