About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when they want a funny, gentle story to shift their child's holiday focus from getting presents to the joy of giving. In this silly tale, a duck named Nicholas finds a Santa hat and is immediately mistaken for the real Santa Claus by all the other animals. Overwhelmed but kindhearted, he tries his best to fulfill everyone's wishes, leading to comical disasters. Perfect for ages 3 to 6, Santa Duck is a lighthearted way to talk about empathy, resilience, and how the intention behind a gift is what truly matters, especially when our best-laid plans go awry.
What Parents Should Know

Ideal Reader
A preschooler, age 3-5, who is fully enchanted by the magic of Christmas and loves silly animal stories. It's particularly good for a child who might be developing a case of the "gimmes" and could benefit from a fun story about the other side of the holiday coin: giving.
