A reason to laugh during the Christmas melee

How many ways can Dickens' classic story be retold? What with Muppets, comedies, musicals, and dozens of dramatic renditions, one might think that there is no fresh take on this tale.If one thought that, though, one would be wrong.For anyone who enjoys Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be a Redneck" style of humor, this book is a must. David Boyd's illustrations will look very familiar because he also illustrates Foxworthy's books. The text is clever, fast paced, and awfully funny to those of us who live in the South. (Hey, I just got a dead car out of my yard, so I can't be too quick to point the finger at rednecks!)A great gift for your favorite redneck or recneck wannabe.
