Summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo illustrator E. G. Keller comes a hilarious “first Christmas” picture book story told from a dog’s perspective.

In this laugh-out-loud funny and charming holiday tale, lovable “patrol dog” Murray is put on high alert by all of the sudden changes around the holidays—from the tree in the living room to the laundry mistakenly hung by the fireplace, threats lurk everywhere! And worst of all? Some random guy in a red suit keeps showing up everywhere—and Murray is not impressed. Can he learn to embrace the festivities, or will Murray’s misguided attempts to protect his family ruin Christmas?

“This is a perfect Christmas read-aloud; children will want to take this book—and Murray—home.” —School Library Journal (Starred Review)
