Synopsis
Bob Claus tries to make up for last year's Christmas havoc by building an android that can help his brother, Santa, by delivering toys in a gorilla-driven sleigh, but despite his good intentions, things go horribly wrong.
Bob Claus, Santa's confused twin brother, returns in this sequel to SANTA'S TWIN. This time he's built a malfunctioning Robot Santa and has taught a gorilla how to steer the sleigh, which uses rockets instead of reindeer. Predictably, the very first toy delivery is a disaster: the robot has become terrifying and the gorilla rampages through the kitchen. Lottie and Emily, the heroines of the first installment, cope with the madness, and Koontz tells the story in nonstop rhyming stanzas ("By the fireside, cake and cookies await/ with Emily's note: Santa Claus, you're great!/ This robot Kris Kringle eats only the plate"). Full-color illustrations accompany the text.
