Lovely story

I wanted to teach the German tradition of St. Nicklaus Abend to my daughter's 1st grade class and used this book. It may not give the historical account of St. Nicklaus, but it tells of how 2 children make a wish on St. Nicklaus eve and it is heard by St. Nicklaus. The author tells the story so that young children can understand that there is more to just giving a gift. The illustrations are beautiful and were admired by the whole class. I also read the book to my 3 year-old daughter's pre-school class and they marvelled at the pictures. An excellent book to add to a child's library.
