"Somebody tattled on me" ... is a recurring lament in Kally Mayer's "Gross Gus's Rotten Christmas!" - a rhyming story of Gus's misbehavior throughout the year and its ultimate consequences.  Humor and humorous misdeeds occur throughout the pages of this book.  The misbehaviors are those that children find extremely funny - reading this aloud to my grandson produced gales of laughter.  The rhymes were well done and flowed easily for reading aloud; this was a major plus.Mindy Liang's colorful, cartoon-like illustrations were a perfect complement to the text of "Gross Gus's Rotten Christmas!".  Each picture captured the essence of the text it accompanied.If you are seeking a fun, funny book that ultimately teaches the lesson that misbehaving has consequences, you should consider "Gross Gus's Rotten Christmas!".  It makes its point without criticism and with humor.
