Plenty of silly, fun Christmas poems to start December with. I like the last one, "Tomorrow is Christmas", it has a Shel Silverstein feel to it.

For my friends who kept asking me for a children's book list...
"A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest." -C.S. Lewis

About Me
- Katie
- I have one husband, three children, two cats (and now a dog!) and a house full of too many books to count. I love to read, ride my bike, bake, develop my own photographs, and I've been known to neglect all housework to play with my kids.
