Christmas is coming, so Betty and Bobby are on their best behavior—but not Tommy. There’s a lesson to be learned in this lighthearted story in verse about a greedy boy who tries to trick Santa Claus, only to get his comeuppance on Christmas morning.
A perfect gift, this nostalgic read is sure to become a family tradition. It’s a lovely facsimile of a rare 1916 edition, embellished with thirteen enchanting illustrations. Reproduced in a large format with sturdy pages, it will last for many seasons. It’s also a fine collector’s item for antique book lovers and fans of vintage Christmas memorabilia.
