(2) PS Illustrated by Galia Bernstein. "While kids write notes to Santa Claus, / Sharks line up for Santa Jaws." In this silly sea-sonal tale, readers and listeners meet a great-white-shark Santa, hammerhead reindeer, and (what else?) elfin-shark elves. ­Bernstein's clear, cartoony illustrations bring the creatures' big personalities (and their big mouths) to life as they belt out carols and prepare toothsome treats. Heos's rhymes bounce right along, and by the end Santa's work is done. "Waving a fin, he roars a good night: / FISHY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, / AND TO ALL A GOOD BITE!" A brief appended spread provides more information about the featured shark species.
