Sebastia (Super Sleuth) and the Santa Clus Caper / Mary Blount Christian / 55 pages / Winter Holiday Themed Book

Sebastian needs a disguise to get out of the department store without John, his police detective master, seeing him.  When he sees a Santa costume in the employee work area he thinks that his and Santa's personalities are a great deal alike.  "They are both generous, handsome, and modest."  Sebastian, a dog, had followed John to the store to spy on his Christmas shopping.  Someone set off the sprinklers and old Cheatum, the store's owner - who is worse than Scrooge - asks John to investigate.  After playing Santa, detective Sebastian joins the investigation.  Great chapter headings and illustrations!
