Synopsis

An unforgettable new character from the creator of the hilarious Goodnight iPad 
 
Nicholas Duck loves Christmas, and he also loves the new Santa hat that’s mysteriously delivered to his house. But when his friends see him and immediately launch into their Christmas lists, he doesn’t know what to do . . . until he runs into Santa himself! David Milgrim’s exuberant holiday story is a joy to read aloud, and the silly animals and bright colors make it a perfect for board book audiences. “Jingle quack, jingle quack . . .”

From School Library Journal:

Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 1–On December 24th, Nicholas Duck rushes out to find Santa to tell him what he wants for Christmas and is surprised to find a red coat and a genuine, official Santa hat on his doorstep. He happily puts them on, but is overwhelmed when all of the animals he meets corner him and rattle off their wish lists. Nicholas tries to get away and runs into Santa, at last. He relays the animals' requests, forgetting to ask anything for himself, but later realizes that helping to give to others has made him happier than getting any gift. Nicholas's silliness and frustration will appeal to youngsters as will the simple message. Milgrim's charming digital ink and oil pastel illustrations use a successful mix of narrative text and cartoon balloons to move the story along at a brisk pace. A fun selection for storytime or one-on-one reading.–Maureen Wade, Los Angeles Public Library
