Bookroo's summary

A very serious lizard wants everyone to know this is not a Christmas book. It is a book about rocks. But why is there an elf behind the granite, and what are those reindeer doing? When a jolly visitor arrives, the lizard must decide whether there is room for holiday spirit among the rocks. Ends with a double gatefold that opens like a present.

From the publisher

A funny and fresh holiday picture book from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Jory John and award-winning illustrator Pierre Collet-Derby starring a rock-loving lizard who has no interest in being the hero of a Christmas story. Perfect for fans of The Monster at the End of This Book! This is NOT a Christmas book.Just so you know.Just so we're clear. This is a book about rocks. But . . . wait. Hold on. Why is there an elf behind that piece of granite over there? And what are those reindeer doing? And who's this guy with a twinkle in his eye? Santa?! Maybe this isn't a book about rocks after all. Will a very serious, rock-loving lizard be able to find his holiday spirit? This laugh-out-loud story will bring some extra sparkle (and giggles) to the most wonderful time of the year. Also, features a double gatefold for readers to open the book just like a Christmas gift!
