A Chick 'n' Pug Christmas

Description

Happy holidays from beloved duo Chick and Pug! Pug is ready for the holidays in his extra cute--and extra itchy--Santa suit. Chick wants one just like it . . . until Pug explains how Santa delivers presents to kids everywhere all in one night, and Chick can't believe his ears. Clearly, Santa Claus is a superhero! And Chick wants to be his fearless sidekick. Spreading holiday cheer is no easy feat, but Chick is ready and willing, even if Pug, of course, would rather nap. Brimming with the same humor and charm fans have come to know from their favorite dynamic duo, readers will delight in this new adventure as Chick and Pug celebrate the holiday season.

Illustrations in acrylics and colored pencil are amusing in their portrayal of Chick's antics, especially his comical expressions. * Kirkus Reviews * Once again, the odd couple dynamic between these two friends drives the story, and Sattler's feathery acrylic illustrations comically exploit the gulf between Chick's permanently energetic state and Pug's more laconic nature. * Publishers Weekly * The third in a series about this lovable duo, this is a simple, silly story with humorous full-color cartoon illustrations and a nice little surprise at the end. A good comforting read-aloud for small groups, one-on-one, and bedtime. * School Library Journal * Preschool fans of dogs, chickens, superheroes, and humor will all find something to like here, as will librarians looking for something to freshen up storytimes.
