The Secret of Saying Thanks by Douglas Wood
Summary: While learning the secret to a good life, a child says thank you for the natural world and for being loved, because a grateful heart is always happy.
My Thoughts: The pictures are beautiful! This isn't exactly a story but more of a series of descriptions of things in nature and life to be thankful. The words help the reader to realize the benefit of being thankful and that is that a thankful heart is happy. This would be an interesting book to share with a young person as a point of discussion about gratitude and the importance of being thankful.

Little Santa by Jon Agee
Summary: A resident of the North Pole with the ability to slide up and down chimneys meets a flying reindeer and some industrious elves, in this fictional biography of Santa Claus.
My Thoughts: I so enjoy Jon Agee's books! They have a dry and ironic sense of humor! This is a fun biography of Santa Claus that shows a little boy growing up in a large family that is really tired of living in the cold of the North Pole. They decide that life will be better in Florida and set out to move there. But the weather thwarts their plans and little Santa Claus has to use his skills to help his family. Little kids will enjoy thinking about the early life of Santa Claus in this picture book! If you like this one, look for more books by Jon Agee!
