I struggled to find a book to explain to my 18 month old daughter who is Santa Claus. The heroine is a little girl full of kinky idea accompanied comforters, parents appairessent in the background. The illustrations are beautiful and clearly show all stages of histoire.Les pages are not cardboard but this did not pose a problem. Not only does this story tells what happens on Christmas Eve but it retains all the magic because they are the soft toys that observe Father Christmas but never too close while Juliette sleeps. My daughter is in love and us.
