    About this ebook

    Ten silly Santas
    At the north North Pole
    One Santa cracked the ice
    And fell down through a hole.

    Find out what happened to the nine other silly Santas in this brand-new, fun-filled collection of Christmas poems for children.

    Written by one of the nation's favourite children’s poets, Ten Silly Santas captures both the joy and the angst of the Christmas season - making you laugh out loud while also prompting you to quietly reflect on the mystery that lies at the heart of it all.

    ‘Great poems. Lovely book!’
