From #1 New York Times bestselling A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo illustrator E. G. Keller comes a hilarious "first Christmas" picture book story told from a dog's perspective.
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?
