Based on the concept of an advent calendar, this unique book will keep children busy and excited about bedtime reading for a whole month before Christmas. Thirty separate stories - one for each day of the month before the Big Day - tell the "true" story of Santa's life, from young boy to the world's most-loved character. Santa's wife, Hulda, is revealed at last, as the powerhouse behind Santa's creative genius. Rich, colourful illustrations by internationally published artist Richard Hoit make this the perfect gift for all children. Perfect level for read-to or read-it-myself.
