The Great Santa Stakeout 
By Betsy Bird
Illustrated by Dan Santat
Arthur A. Levine Books, an imprint of Scholastic, Inc., 2019. Picture Book.

Freddy Melcher loves Santa Claus—a lot! He is so enamored with the jolly old elf that he gives out Christmas cards on Valentine’s Day and he dresses up like Santa for Talk Like a Pirate Day. The only think that Freddy doesn’t have is a real picture of Santa. So, he makes a plan. Freddy figures out how he can catch Santa delivering gifts on Christmas Eve and take a photo—only Santa has a few plans of his own. This is a Christmas book full of comedy and fun illustrations. And perhaps this book just might inspire other youngsters to think through how they might catch a glimpse of one of the most well-known (yet super sneaky) legends.
