Bookroo's summary
Hank's winter nap is interrupted when a buzzard crashes into Slim's truck. As they head to town for Christmas shopping, chaos ensues with a parade, a sniveling poodle, and the looming question: will Wallace the buzzard become Christmas dinner? Join Hank, Slim, and the gang as they navigate unexpected holiday adventures and discover the true meaning of Christmas amidst the chaos.
From the publisher
Hank is looking forward to a long winter’s nap when duty calls him to accompany Slim into town for a last-minute Christmas shopping spree. Along the way, Hank and the gang are struck not only by the meaning of Christmas but also by a twenty-five-pound buzzard!
