| Each year at Christmas, Joe sends his wish list to Santa. But they've had a few misunderstandings in the past. This year, young Joe gets more than he bargains for when Santa brings him exactly what he wants--a real-live penguin. Full color. |
|
From the Publisher:
When a boy finally gets exactly what he wants from Santa, he learns that owning a real penguin may not have been a good idea after all. |
Annotation:
Joe has been having a frustrating time making Santa understand exactly what he wants for Christmas. Last year he requested a red racecar, but when it arrived, it measured three inches from bumper to bumper, like some awful practical joke. This time, he's taking no chances, poring over textbooks and meticulously diagramming this year's gift: a live penguin. Osbert the penguin waits for him under the tree on Christmas morning, but feeding the animal and keeping it cool might be a very different experience than anything Joe expected. The moral of the tale? Be very careful what you wish for, especially when corresponding with Santa.
