This is a wonderful book that tells the story of St Nick. It starts with a young boy (Nick) who is doing some last minute Christmas shopping. He isn't exactly thrilled and would much rather receive gifts than give them. While shopping, Nick overhears a Santa at the mall retelling the story of St. Nicholas.
The story tells of St Nicholas as a boy and told how his tradition of giving gifts began. His story talked about the compassion young St. Nick had for the less fortunate, and wanted to bring them some happiness. It was a great story and a great way to get kids to understand the importance of helping others and that it is better to give than to receive.
I thought the book had great illustrations that are very colorful. My kid's only complaint was that the santa was "skinny".
Overall, I really loved this book and would highly recommend it.
