APPEALS TO: SEVERAL 

The little girl is sure that it is Santa who has moved in next door. But his favorite season is spring? And he prefers rabbits? She cultivates a relationship with him anyway, and rallies the neighborhood to help him when he gets sick. It also turns out that he is very good at fixing toys and things. Is he Santa or isn’t he? 

The little girl’s earnestness and eagerness for her neighbor to be Santa is endearing. Santa believers will embrace her wholeheartedly.
