Book excerpt: It’s the day before Christmas, and Joey Papagopolis and his pet chameleon, Larry, are so excited… except for one really important thing. Joey forgot to let Santa know what he wanted this year — a George Washington presidential action figure. Since it’s too late to send a letter, and Joey doesn’t know Santa’s email address, there’s only one thing to do: Go on a Big Red Button holiday adventure! Although Joey’s Big Red Button can send them through time and space, rarely do he and Larry ever travel in a straight line. So instead of making a non-stop flight to the North Pole, they end up taking detours to Arizona and Greece, learning a little history about Santa and helping him out along the way. Does Joey get his Christmas wish? Does Joey’s mom really have awful taste in holiday sweaters? Were those sugarplums or worms and bugs dancing in Larry’s head? Find out now in HELPING SANTA!
