(4) K-3 Translated by Sibylle Kazeroid. Illustrated by Anne Möller. Too poor for Christmas gifts, Oliver attaches a letter for Santa to a balloon. When it travels south instead, a grumpy old man named Nicholas finds the wish list and has a change of heart, not only bringing Oliver and his mother gifts, but inviting them to live with him. While the artwork is attractive, young readers may be confused as to why Nicholas is "really and truly Santa Claus" on one page and "Grandfather" on the next.
