What is How Murray Saved Christmas about?

<p><P>When Santa's knocked out cold by a Jack-in-the-Boxer's walloping punch, deli owner Murray Kleiner reluctantly agrees to take his place. The suit doesn't fit, Murray smells a bit like pickles, and there's no way he can remember the names of all those reindeer. But with the help of a pushy elf and an eager-to-believe young boy, Murray finds out that even though he's not big enough to fill Santa's suit, he's got more than enough heart to get the job done.</p><h3>Children's Literature</h3><p>Parents will howl with laughter reading this book. Unfortunately, their children may not get some of the humor, as the funniest lines in this picture book are pitched at folks who remember the '70s. The irreverent wit will seep through anyway, but the ideal audience is still older than the usual picture book devotees are. As the author is also one of the creators of the TV animated show The Simpsons, the iconoclastic approach to Christmas should come as no surprise. Santa is knocked out by a wayward toy, and one of the elves presses Murray into service as a Santa-substitute. Murray runs the diner where Santa packs in the cheesecake responsible for his bulk. Things do not go smoothly for Murra
