Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignod was born in Bordeaux. He has written many books for children and adults and is currently teaching in the Parisian suburbs.
K-Gr 3--Rita and her not-very-doglike dog spend Christmas Eve writing letters to Santa, decorating their trees (the pup's is covered with sausages, salami, and bologna), creating a unique snack for Santa and the reindeer, and performing a special concert. A noise in the night causes Whatsit to bark madly (because sometimes he does act like a dog). Has he scared away Santa before he could make his delivery? Don¿t be silly. There is, of course, the obligatory "awww..." moment at the end. Pen and ink vignettes highlighted with splotches of red and the small format make this best suited to one-on-one sharing. An endearing, but additional, package.--Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
