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? This laugh-out-loud picture book from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Jory John and award-winning illustrator Pierre Collet-Derby will bring some extra sparkle (and giggles) to the most wonderful time of the year.
