Booky Advent Calendar - CHRISTMAS EVE - "There's a Yeti in the Playground" by Pamela Butchart and Thomas Flintham (Nosy Crow)

Two of the funniest folk in the business combine their considerable talents for our Christmas Eve Booky Advent Calendar entry. By now you're probably hopping from foot to foot with excitement in anticipation of tomorrow, right?

Well imagine if your feet were slightly bigger than everyone else's!

In "There's a Yeti in the Playground" the very worst thing has happened to young Izzy.

The frisson of excitement at seeing snow falling heavily while everyone's tucked up in the warm at school swiftly changes to disappointment as the snow falls so heavily that Izzy and her friends find themselves snowed in.

Worse still, they're not alone.

Somewhere out in the playground, someone discovers a whopping great big footprint - and it definitely doesn't belong to a teacher.

Teachers don't walk around barefoot in the snow after all, do they?

From Blue Peter Award winners Pamela and Thomas comes a brilliant story that has just a pinch of festive wintry awesomeness about it to make our Booky Advent Calendar list.

And that's the last entry in this year's Booky Advent Calendar. We'll be taking a break till later in December when we'll be back for our annual New Years Eve Booky Roundup of all the awesomeness of 2018.

See you then!! Have a Happy Christmas from us, and a prosperous and very booky new year!
