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)
