Santa's Last Present

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Quentin Blake. When his parents won't stop talking about Santa Claus, Julian decides to pretend to believe in him for one more year. He asks for an expensive video game but discovers that he really prefers playing with a wooden train. An ode to the joy of play, the story may appeal more to adults than children. Blake's winsome black-lined illustrations complement the lengthy narrative perfectly.
