Lyle at Christmas (Lyle the Crocodile)
Grade 1-4?This action-packed romp features, of course, the lovable crocodile who, as usual, saves the day?with much wackiness along the way. Mr. Grumps, a neighbor, is stricken with a severe case of holiday blues. To add to his gloom, his cat, Loretta, runs away, and Lyle and the Primm family must step in to save the holiday. In a funny, twisting turn-of-events story, Lyle ends up in jail, but is rescued and the misunderstanding cleared up. Loretta is returned, and the whole cast of characters gathers for Christmas Eve dinner. Lively, humorous watercolor-and-ink illustrations perfectly complement Waber's expressive text. Lyle at Christmas?or anytime?is pure joy.?LFCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
