Sam's 'Great' - and therefore very special - Aunt Addie must live near the North Pole if she lives 'up north' (which his penguin will like because of the polar bears) and that will make travelling easier for Father Christmas and the reindeer ... Indeed Christmas is very special and definitely different for Sam this year but not exactly in the way he imagines. Full of credible anticipation and attention to detail, this gently captures the imagination of 5- and 6-year-olds (with whom I read it) so they really do enjoy a magical experience. The book is beautifully enhanced by Priscilla Lamont's warmly sensitive illustrations.
