chapter 1 Miss Crankypants Not another one Crockett I pressed my hand to my forehead and used my best Penelope Parks voice I simply can’t take it anymore No more jokes dah-ling But nothing would stop Crockett He leaned forward and whispered What do elves learn in school He didn’t wait for an answer The elfabet His eyes lit up Get it Christmas was eight days away That meant eight more days of Crockett’s jokes 5
I glanced at the Christmas tree in the reading corner My heart thumpity thumped I love Christmas It’s my very most favorite holiday Along with Valentine’s Day And New Year’s Eve And my birthday of course I wrinkled my eyes How many more Christmas jokes do you know Crockett tap tap tapped his head Plenty His hand shot into the air Mrs Bingsley can I tell some jokes before lunch Mrs Bingsley glanced at her watch Sure I’d love to hear some Crockett jumped up What do snowmen eat for breakfast Frosted Flakes shouted Johnny Crockett gave Johnny two thumbs up Here’s one you won’t know How does Santa get to the dentist No one knew the answer 6
