Lenny dreams of getting a carwash for Christmas - a real carwash, full-size and in working order. But he knows this is impossible. However, Lenny's dream comes true when he finds a carwash in the middle of a vacant patch. But this is no ordinary carwash: however the car goes in, it comes out transformed and reflecting the nature of the person who drives it. Eventually Father Christmas emerges and takes Lenny on a magical journey. An enchanting morality tale for our times. The story is assisted by atmospheric pictures on every page.
