One Maine Christmas Eve

Its Christmas Eve in Maine, and Miss Moody and her boarders Millie and Emery--as well as Miss Moodys pup Smittens--are all tucked into bed when out in the barnyard there arises such a clatter.It turns out that Santa has been grounded by sick reindeer, and Christmas hangs in the balance for girls and boys all over the world. But it also turns out that Santa couldnt have picked a better yard for an emergency landing, because whos more adept than a Maine farmer at getting a broken-down machine (or sleigh) back into service.This verbal and visual lark turns The Night Before Christmas into a tall tale of good old Yankee ingenuity.
