From the publisher
When Grandfather’s three-legged dog, Mr. Biggins, disappears on Christmas Eve, Lizzie and her grandfather go up the mountain to find him.”Intelligent, textured prose and softly realistic paintings tell the story of a little girl and her grandfather who go off into the snowy woods to search for their lost dog on Christmas Eve. . . . An intergenerational story to share for many holiday seasons to come.” – School Library Journal, starred review
