Pieces of Christmas — Teri Sloat

Christmas poems bearing wishes for peace throughout the world

"When Santa returns from making his rounds,
The letters he's answered lie drifted in mounds.
He calls the North Wind to blow them around,
And pieces of Christmas come swirling down."

Each of the stamps on the letters to Santa paint a different, enchanting picture of holiday spirit all over the world. Crocodiles stop at crocodilian cookie shops and javelinas hop at a jingling jamboree! In these fanciful verses, animals from Africa to Antarctica celebrate Christmas in their own very special ways.
