Reach for this book when your child is caught up in the 'gimme' spirit of the holidays or when they love playing make-believe. It is a perfect choice for transitioning from the excitement of a personal wish list to the joy of thinking about what others might need or want. Through the eyes of a duck who is mistaken for Santa, children see the value of listening and being a helper. Nicholas Duck starts his journey simply looking for Santa to deliver his own list, but after finding a discarded hat, he unintentionally becomes a confidant for all the other animals. The story uses humor and animal antics to introduce the concept of service and the holiday spirit without being heavy-handed. It is a lighthearted, secular holiday read that encourages kids to step into someone else's shoes (or hat) and enjoy the rewards of helping their community.
