Publisher Description
It's Christmastime, so Nicholas Duck puts on his Santa's helper suit and proudly starts gathering wish lists for Santa. But this year, Nicholas's little brothers and sister want to help. Nicholas is not too keen on the idea, and when the overeager ducks try to outdo each other by promising outlandish gifts-the Hoover Dam for the beaver, a castle for the frog- Nicholas gets fed up. And as he tries to explain to his siblings what Christmas is all about, it turns out the kids have a thing or two to teach Nicholas about working together. With its funny text and illustrations, this story will have kids laughing as they celebrate the spirit of the season with Santa Ducks.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In his second outing as Santa's helper, Nicholas Duck prepares to collect Christmas lists, but his needling younger brothers and sister want in on the action. When various animals make their Christmas requests, his siblings try to one-up each other. "I'll get you a beautiful princess," quacks his sister to a frog; "I'll get you your own planet!" boasts a brother. Finally, Nicholas reminds them that Christmas is about "love and goodwill," but quickly has to eat his words. With humor aplenty and a knack for sibling dynamics, Milgrim offers a holiday story with panache. Ages 5 8.
