The humor is occasionally a little rude, but it is a good-hearted, clever, and really funny book written by one of the Simpsons creators.

I am in love. I have to find a copy of this book for my own collection. First off it is illustrated by my favourite kids artist EVER David Catrow. So you know it’s going to be funny. The story is in the pattern of Night before Christmas, but Santa has been punched out and his understudy, Murray from the diner must take over. This is a laugh out loud riot of a read that will become a new holiday tradition as soon as I can find a copy outside a library.

Murray owns a dinner that infamous figures like to go to. One of his favorite guests is old Saint Nick! One Christmas Murray is called into duty for Santa because a little (not-so-helpful) elf has accidentally knocked Santa out cold. Will Murray step up to Santa's duties?

This is one of the cutest Christmas books that I have read in a long time! The rhymes in the book are hilarious and this book will have you tickled pink! I think it is a great read for any child that is elementary aged!

I would not offer an assignment with this story because sometimes we have to read books for just the pure enjoyment of reading! ( )
