"Pig simply cannot wait for his presents--he's asked for a lot!--so he stays up all night . When Pig discovers that Santa didn't quite bring everything Pig asked for, he takes the jolly old elf to task. A wild sleigh ride ends with Pig decorating a tree in an unexpected way. Trevor--everyone's favourite underdog--makes his usual appearance as the perfect foil for Pig's over-the-top behavior; Pig's exhaustive, hilarious "I WANT:" list is featured in the endpapers. There's a lot to love and laugh at in this new Christmas read-aloud."-- |
