Description

When Holly writes a letter to Father Christmas rather than sending him a wish list, Father Christmas responds and answers all her questions about his work and, ultimately, gives her a very special gift.

Quick Summary

In this heartwarming tale, a little girl skips the typical wish list and writes Father Christmas a real letter full of questions, and get this, he actually writes back. Kids will adore the playful Q&A format as Holly asks about the nuts and bolts of Santa's operation, from how he manages all those reindeer to what he eats for breakfast, leading to a truly magical surprise at the end. If your kid loves the interactive charm of "Dear Zoo" or the epistolary fun of "The Jolly Christmas Postman," they'll be enchanted by this sweet exchange. Perfect for early readers ages 5 to 7 in kindergarten through second grade.
