Little Santa by John Agee

Hi Kids, Rascal here again. The holiday season is upon us and I have been getting into the Christmas spirit. I hear children talking about this person named “Santa Clause” and I was wondering who he was. I read a great book called “Little Santa” and I learned a lot. Firstly, Santa loves to wear red underwear. Raccoons do not need underwear because we have warm furry coats but I think I look good in red. Secondly, Santa is very agile to be able to climb down chimneys. Raccoons are also very agile creatures so we have that in common. I know I have been down a few chimneys in my time. Thirdly, Santa has a sweet tooth. He really likes cookies. Cookies are my favorite treat as well so I think this Santa person and I would get along great. The one thing I don’t like is flying. I like to keep my paws firmly planted on the ground. However, Santa’s sleigh looks pretty darn comfy. Keep your paws clean kids and have a great holiday! Your pal Rascal!
