Santa Claws

32 pp. | Chronicle | November, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-4992-9 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gris Grimly. This story of two young monsters preparing for a visit from Santa Claws is best for those who like their Christmas creepy, as the monsters hang oozing "blistertoe" and smelly stockings, decorate a dead pine tree, and help make disgusting holiday treats. This irreverent rhyming send-up is accompanied by cheerfully spooky, spidery-lined illustrations, including imaginative mock advertisement endpapers (mail-order witch, anyone?).
