Peanut is going over the river and through the woods to his grandmother's house for Christmas, but getting there is a food-filled adventure for this little nut!

But while the delays dismay his friends and family, Peanut embraces his role as the Merry Christmas Nut to cheer them up.In this heart-warming and humorous Christmas tale based on the real-life adventures of one peanut -- including ice-skating on popsicles and making snow angels in powdered-sugar snow -- our food friends know that the true meaning of Christmas is joining with our loved ones to celebrate the joy of being together.From the creator of Peanut Butter & Cupcake, tihs book is perfect for every family who wants to giggle together this holiday season.Praise for Terry Border's picture books:Merry Christmas, Peanut!"As with Border's previous books, the real delights come from his carefully and humorously staged scenes."--Publishers Weekly"Kids will be mesmerized by Border's clever photos, which imbue the peanuts with personality and a true sense of action.
