The Year Without a Santa Claus by Phyllis McGinley
The poem was cute, but I truly fell in love with the illustrations by John Manders. Charming!
Very entertaining, cute and fun to read, I enjoyed it very much. Five stars.
Santa announces he's taking a vacation. Children are sad until Ignatius Thistlewhite unites the world's children to allow Santa to take a much-deserved rest. The children begin sending things to Santa, but then he doesn't have room for all the stuff they sent plus the stuff he should have been delivering. What will Santa do? This is a rhyming poem that is illustrated by Kurt Werth.
A lovely holiday evening by the fireplace after the smaller ones have been put down for the night. Enjoying Eggnog or Hot Toddies as the family elders read, and I'm.
