Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas

In a charming Jim Henson tale, Emett and his pals form a band and enter a talent show to win Christmas money, unaware that Emett's mom and a showy rock band are among the competitors. Emmet and his widowed ma have a lot riding on the event: they used each other's most prized possession as a means of entering the contest. He poked a hole in her washtub; and she hocked his tool chest to buy material for a new dress to wear to the show. Based on the book by Russell and Lillian Hoban.
