A funny and fresh holiday picture book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jory John starring a rock-loving lizard who has no interest in being the hero of a Christmas story. This is NOT a Christmas book.
Just so you know.
Just so we’re clear.
This is a book about rocks.
But . . . wait. Hold on. Why is there an elf behind that piece of granite over there? And what are those reindeer doing? And who’s this guy with a twinkle in his eye? Santa?!
Maybe this isn’t a book about rocks after all.Will a very serious, rock-loving lizard be able to find his holiday spirit?
