Truly adorable. Reminds me of the kids of books I used to enjoy and find magical as a child

I saw this in Waterstones Book Shop and had to buy it. My little boy was getting anxious about Santa not being able to get into the house as we don't have a chimney and even suggested knocking a hole through the roof. We read the book which he loved and was relieved that he had a magic key for Santa to get in. A happy ending ensued as Santa came through the night and my roof is still in one piece.

Mine loved this story as a very thoughtful aunt bought it for Christmas. To be honest, I've now read it so much I can remember parts off by heart and I think this is one we will turn to again next Christmas. Great story for the kids.

This was a lovely and special Christmas book. My two grandsons enjoyed it so much, and we will re- read this every Christmas. Thanks for my copy.

Grandson read this whilst on a sleepover and enjoyed it - would love to surprise him with his own copy

This is a lovely book that is accompanied by a magic key given by santa :) It is a lovely bedtime christmas read for children but to be honest mine were more excited about hanging the key on the door for santa to come in :)

Looks eye catching. Looking forward to reading this one!

this would be perfect for night time reading with my children

we haven't read it yet but I will be picking it up soon.

stefalfie11 · 27/12/2016 16:57

A lovely christma read with all the magic of christmas!

irishe · 27/12/2016 01:07

Great idea, my daughter wonders how santa can fit down our chimney because she thinks he is too fat!

FeelingSmurfy · 26/12/2016 22:52

We got this book this year as its the first year there hasn't been a child scared of him coming in to the house, it was odd not to have an adult go downstairs and bump around a bit first as they brought the presents in from where santa left them outside Xmas Wink

I think it's good because it gives more believability to him using a magic key, other books and films all have him using the chimney as is traditional, so if you have a naturally curious child it can sometimes be hard to make it believable.

My youngest is 3 and she absolutely loved the story :)
