The Claus Brothers Toy Shop is home to the finest toys in the world. Hanz builds, Louis checks and Levi adds a sprinkling of magic. Nicky loves working with his three uncles and especially loves seeing all of the excited, happy children come through the doors in search of the perfect toy. But not everyone can afford a toy and when Nicky follows a young girl into a hole in the hall he makes a troubling discovery. Determined to bring a little happiness to every child, even if just for a day, Nicky wishes for a Christmas miracle. With theYule 3000, some real-life magic and a sleigh load of resolve, belief and hard work the legend of St Nick is born… A magical and wonderful festive read that sparkles and twinkles like fresh fallen snow. Transporting readers back to Victorian-era England, David delivers the wonder of Christmas in a heartfelt, thoughtful and hopeful story where kindness, compassion, empathy and friendship are the truest and best gifts of all. Charmingly told and with spellbinding illustrations this refreshing Christmas tale, that explores the possible origins of St Nick and gift giving, will captivate and delight alongside encouraging reflection. Christmas can be a time when wants outweigh needs and where more value is placed on receiving than giving. Kind-hearted Nicky implores us all to think about what we have, to embrace the joys of giving, to think of others that are less fortunate and how we can help those who may not receive a present or many presents. Overflowing with the very best of Christmas, this beautiful book is one that every child deserves to have shared with them. Reading in the days leading up to Christmas gives children the opportunity to think about how they can be like Nicky, to evoke the spirit of the Claus Brothers and to bring cheer and good will to all.
