A lovely story of friendship and sharing for the Christmas holidays. There is no Santa Claus in this story, but there's still a wonderful dose with a little magic toy merchant (or at least who understands a lot of things). The plot is well regarded and fall is not predictable at first reading. This is a good book to read to children from 3 to 6 or even 7 years ... And it will be even better that they do not believe (or more) to Santa, because we see here the friends give gifts to each other.
