That means assisting a friend in need, stepping in at the Christmas concert, helping out at home, and making cards to send the neighbors (no matter how unfriendly they are). But as hard as Clarice tries to spread the good cheer, it becomes clear that this holiday season will look different for the Tuesday family. Mom and Dad are too exhausted to even think of hosting their usual big gathering, decorating the tree turns into an evening of calamities, and the dog eats the turkey. But as they say, good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Maybe Clarice's creative problem-solving--and some surprise help--can inspire the Tuesdays to embrace the holiday mishaps and enjoy a day better than anyone imagined! Lauren Child's beloved Clarice Bean is back--in a singular celebration of family, joy, and Christmas spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLauren Child\u003c\/b\u003e has published many picture books, including \u003ci\u003eThe New Small Person\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Absolutely One Thing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eA Dog with Nice Ears\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eas well as the hugely popular Charlie and Lola and Clarice Bean series and a spin-off series of novels about Ruby Redfort.
