age 8+ Goofy humor, warm heart in wild holiday romp. Parents need to know that The Naughty List, by Michael Fry (Over the Hedge, The Odd Squad) and Bradley Jackson, is an irreverent kid-saves-Christmas tale that combines a heartfelt message with fart jokes. This Santa is asthmatic, cranky, and sulking in his trailer after ceding control of the North Pole to a mechanical monster.
