Judy Moody is making a list and checking it twice, but all her brother, Stink, wants this year is snow.

It hasn’t snowed on Christmas in Virginia in more than a hundred years, so what are the chances that that will change? Enter the new mailman, Mr. Jack Frost, who not only looks like a jolly old elf but also seems to know a lot about weather patterns, has a fondness for the cold, and works looooooong hours during the holiday season. Plus it’s the best time of the year, when strange packages and lots of surprises are swirling around, so isn’t it possible that Stink might get his wish? Fans who curl up with this Moody comedy can be sure that their bellies will shake like a bowlful of jelly.
The good-natured teasing between Judy and Stink lends intimacy to the festive atmosphere of this easy chapter book; and full-color illustrations, along with a sparkly snow-dappled holographic cover, spread the Christmas cheer.
—The Horn Book

A surefire hit for the ‘jolidays.’
—School Library Journal

The latest in this popular series blends humor and story as tension builds on Christmas eve, and puns and colorful illustrations show the siblings’ banter and their bond.
—Booklist

For young readers who have learned to read with Judy and her brother, this is an event worth celebrating.
