When two children appeal to Saint Nicholas to free their village from the heavy snow that is keeping everyone inside, he sends instead a mysterious parcel.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 5^-8. On Saint Nicholas Eve, Misha and Anna wish that Saint Nicholas would blow a path through the snow that's keeping everyone from going outside. Instead, Saint Nicholas leaves a mysterious package in the village square, creating such curiosity that the villagers pitch in and make their own path. Anna's closing comment--"Saint Nicholas may not have blown a path through the snow, but he did find a way to bring us all together!" --will help younger children see the irony of the situation and the wisdom of the gift, which turns out to be an old teapot. Soft, appealing illustrations of snowy village scenes convey the warmth and spirit of the season and capture the villagers as they rediscover and celebrate the simple joy of friendship.

Lovely story,

This review is from: The Gift from Saint Nicholas (Paperback)
I wanted to teach the German tradition of St. Nicklaus Abend to my daughter's 1st grade class and used this book. It may not give the historical account of St. Nicklaus, but it tells of how 2 children make a wish on St. Nicklaus eve and it is heard by St. Nicklaus. The author tells the story so that young children can understand that there is more to just giving a gift. The illustrations are beautiful and were admired by the whole class. I also read the book to my 3 year-old daughter's pre-school class and they marvelled at the pictures. An excellent book to add to a child's library.
