Petunia's Christmas

While taking a walk in the snow the pet goose Petunia meets Charles a most charming and handsome gander. Handsome yesand hefty because poor Charles is being fattened for Christmas dinner by the farmer next door. Will the gander of Petunias dreams be served up roasted with applesauce on the side? Petunias determination to save Charles even if it means posing as Santa Claus results in one of the simplest funniest and most original of Christmas stories wrote the Chicago Tribune when this book was originally published in 1952. A yuletide classic by a Caldecott Medal winner Petunias Christmas is still making children laugh as it shows the true spirit of Christmas.
