Mark is a ten year old boy who has a monster named, Murf. Murf is a red, furry monster with big ears and green eyes. He is very sweet and lovable even though he farts and burps when he is excited or scared. It's Christmas time, but Murf doesn't understand what Christmas is about. You see, this is Murf's very first Christmas. Mark and his friend Joey set out to show Murf what Christmas is all about. But in the end, it's Murf who shows them the true meaning of Christmas. Fun, short chapter book with beautiful illustrations. Great for kids 5-10 years old.
