The goats attend the Christmas tree lighting. They eat gingerbread and talk to their friends, and everyone is excited for Santa to come. But Santa has never visited the goats. Maybe he can’t find their home? Or doesn’t have the energy to walk up the steep hill? Or maybe it’s because the smallest goat is a little scared of Santa? No, probably not that. But if they write their wish list and send it to Santa, THEN maybe he will come! As soon as they think it, they do it. What they want most of all is a sled with a steering wheel. On Christmas Eve they eat dinner, they do the dishes – and they wait. And wait. Finally, the largest goat goes outside to get some firewood. Then FINALLY someone knocks on their door… «The illustrations are lively and full of action. A lot happens on the pages, and the colors splash and will light up every child's room. It's hard not to laugh along, and with the right narrator, the book will be a clear Christmas favourite.»KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD (Denmark), five/five stars
