A beautiful gift-box and an equally beautiful story about the meaning of Christmas!
This is a beautiful gift package, the perfect book for a classroom, or for at home in the build-up to Christmas. Created to a high standard, the Gift Box is sturdy and protects a beautifully illustrated book and a delightful snow globe.
The story itself is inventive, the introduction of a new reindeer and the ingenious concept of an elf for every child born and banishment to the South Pole is very funny. The story focuses on 10-year-old Gabriel, and although makes reference to presents also makes sure to emphasise the message that Christmas is about more than what's under to tree on December 25th, which I liked. The three visits echo A Christmas Carol but in a way that is subtle and entirely relevant to today. I love the story and intend on reading it to my nephews when the festive season starts!
