(2) K-3 Illustrated by H. B. Lewis. This Christmas (there have been "a few misunderstandings" in the past), young Joe isn't leaving anything open to interpretation in his letter to Santa: "I would like to have my own pet penguin...a real one." Remarkably, Joe gets his wish. The illustrations effectively convey the frigid winter landscape and the warm friendship in this satisfying tale of pure Christmas magic.
