Thank You, Santa by Margaret Wild


This week we read Thank You, Santa by Margaret Wild. This book definately presents a different type of relationship with Santa through letters. I know the first time I read this book it kinda made me feel bad because all of the letters I have written to Santa have been all about what I want. I don't think I ever stopped to say thank you. I really was also a little jealous that Samantha had thought to become Santa's pen pal and communicated with him all year. How did this story make you feel? Would you want to be Santa's pen pal and learn more about him, besides toys and Christmas?
