About this book
From Booklist: Ages 4-8. An unusual heat wave at the North Pole forces Santa to move his entire workshop to Lizzard Indiana where temperatures are in the deep freeze. Unfortunately a lack of snow deters the work so young Maynard Jenkins pays a visit to an elderly neighbor lady rumored to be able to cast spells. She is more than willing to help out but the storm she conjures has unexpected and hilarious results. Kettemans fanciful tall tale is sure to attract young listeners and Warholas comical ink-and-watercolor illustrations capture the texts exaggerated humor. Particularly delightful are Santas sunbathing elves and the bonfires lit to defrost the clouds. An appealing choice for holiday read-alouds or for older children learning to write their own tall tales. Kay Weisman
