Bookroo's summary

Meet a unique child with a booming voice and a fascination for chimneys. His quirky habits, like training hamsters to pull a sleigh and giving away gifts, puzzle his parents. Yet, these oddities hint at a surprising destiny. Discover how this unusual boy grows into his remarkable role, leaving his parents both bewildered and proud. What future awaits this extraordinary child?

From the publisher

Santa’s parents think their little one is absolutely wonderful, even though he has a booming voice instead of a baby’s gurgle, loves to stand in front of the refrigerator, gives his birthday presents away, trains his hamsters to pull a matchbox sleigh … and has an unusual interest in chimneys. The adorably funny portrait of an oddball kid who fulfills his destiny - and two very proud parents.
