'Twas the Fight Before Christmas


Book Description

The Langfords and the Riders have been neighbors and close friends for years. Even their children have been playmates and pals. They completely understand and admire one another--that is, until one day when Mrs. Rider phones the Langford home to leave a message and Ranny (yes, he's the youngest) answers the call. He is engrossed at the time in a comic book so how could anyone expect him to relay Mrs. Rider's words correctly. He gets the message so garbled that everyone goes far afield and both families are embroiled in a real spat--and right before Christmas! Ranny finds himself in the middle of all turmoil, brings to light what actually caused the misunderstanding and tops everything by filling in at the last moment in the church pageant. What is his role? Brotherly Love!
