What Santa Can't Do

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Doug Cushman. Following the format of What Dads Can't Do, etc., Santa appears as a jolly green dinosaur who can't do such "regular" things as drive a car (it would hurt the reindeer's feelings) or shave (no one would recognize him). The one way in which he is "just like you and me" provides a satisfying ending for an amusing picture book. Modest watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations match the mood and enhance the humor.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
