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?This laugh-out-loud picture book will bring some extra sparkle (and giggles) to the most wonderful time of the year.
