We Wish for a Monster Christmas — Sue Fliess

We wish for a furry monster,
A big, hairy, scary monster,
Our own stomping, chomping monster, for Christmas this year!

Dear Santa: please bring us a MONSTER for Christmas! This hilarious parody of the traditional carol stars two siblings who want something just a little more special than the usual toys for their Christmas gift. Mom and Dad refuse -- so they appeal to a higher power: Santa. And since they've been good all year, he delivers. But having a monster in the house may not be all it's cracked up to be ... as the kids discover when he turns their playroom to rubble and causes tons of trouble. Now, what will they do? Delighted readers will sing along with the merry song.
