Three Little Nutcrackers: and Other Preposterous Holiday Poems

Every year my crazy family

Hides inside the Christmas tree

One warty little pickle

Made of plastic, colored green.

And on every Christmas morning

They hold a competition

To find that hidden pickle;

It's their holiday tradition ...

Full of wit and rhyme, goofiness and good cheer, this collection of merry, madcap poems by Paul McDowell will have the whole family chuckling and-just like the majestic Christmas pickle-will quickly become a silly, dilly holiday tradition.
