Summary

When Santa’s knocked out cold by a Jack-in-the-Boxer’s walloping punch, deli owner Murray Kleiner reluctantly agrees to take his place. The suit doesn’t fit, Murray smells a bit like pickles, and there’s no way he can remember the names of all those reindeer. But with the help of a pushy elf and an eager-to-believe young boy, Murray finds out that even though he’s not big enough to fill Santa’s suit, he’s got more than enough heart to get the job done.

First line

Twas the night before Christmas and at the North Pole, Santa was rockin' and ready to roll.

Media reviews

Reiss scores a bullÆs-eye with this hilarious debut. CatrowÆs puckish watercolors are equal to ReissÆs wit and lightning pace. (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
