Rover Saves Christmas
This children's book by Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle is a Christmas-themed spoof that pokes fun at such things as Christmas commercials, Christmas stories, and even James Joyce.

Also reappearing are such GIGGLER TREATMENT characters as Robbie, Jimmy, and baby Kayla. Illustrated with b&w drawings.
