This is a nice pop up book. Sam loves the present Father Christmas gave him, but he feels sorry that nobody ever buys Santa anything. So, Sam saves up all year and writes to tell him he will leave him a present next Christmas. Santa is pleased, but Sam can't decide what to buy and has nothing when he appears. Fathe Christmas says the thought was enough and takes Sam on a magical ride on his sleigh. The pop ups are good and, at the last page, there is a chance to peek through tiny windows into Santa's house. Also, the story teaches children about giving, rather than receiving, being rewarding in its own right. A lovely book, but probably for 3 and up, as the pop ups could be easily torn or bent.
