Silent (but Deadly) Night

(3) 4-6 Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder series. Translated by Tara Chace. Illustrated by Mike Lowery. There's a new edict in Norway: you have to buy 10,000 crowns worth of merchandise from department-store mogul Mr. Thrane in order to participate in Christmas. So Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa are off to find Santa and save Christmas for everyone aided by a nuclear-powered sleigh with a vampire giraffe cuckoo mechanism. Occasional chunky line drawings complement the zany, absurdist humor.
