Booky Advent Calendar Day 24 - CHRISTMAS EVE BONUS BOOK - "Search and Find: A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens and Louise Pigott (Studio Press)

Well as it's Christmas Eve we couldn't resist queueing up an extra book recommendation for our Booky Advent Calendar, after all don't the christmas eve advent calendars always feature the biggest chocolate?

Here's "Search and Find: A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, with fantastic artwork from Louise Pigott. Louise brings Charles Dickens' timeless christmas story to life in a whole new way, with beautifully detailed illustrations and an abridged version of the story perfect for younger children.

Kids will really enjoy spotting all the hidden objects in each page spread, as miserly old Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come - before seeing the error of his ways and fully embracing the spirit of christmas.

It's a truly lovely book this, with a really festive feeling throughout...

Can you find the portrait of Jacob Marley? Can you also find all the robins?
The artwork really is absolutely stunning. I rather loved Louise's version of the Ghost of Christmas Present (a big booming Hagrid-like Giant...)

"Yer a Wizard, Scroogy. Oops sorry, wrong book!"
It's absolutely guaranteed to get you in the Christmas mood this one.

"Search and Find: A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens and Louise Pigott is out now, published by Studio Press (kindly supplied for review)
