Santa's Wonderful Workshop
Opening the door of our Booky Advent Calendar on Day 11, it's time for "Santa's Wonderful Workshop" by Elys Dolan.Christmas is a time for giving gifts, snugging next to a warm fire with a warming cup of hot chocolate, or perhaps writing a list to Santa.
This year Saint Nick thinks he's got everything under control. But disaster is on the horizon!
Santa's workshop only seems to make rotten old toasters.
There's a rampaging polar bear on the loose - and a whole stack of pesky visitors from the South Pole who keep getting in the way. What on earth will Santa do?
Well, we won't spoil things too much for you, suffice to say that this is Mr Santa Claus we're talking about, and even with the stress of trying to get presents together for every one of you, he can handle things in his own inimitable and magical way.
A brilliantly entertaining read, with the penguin visitors stealing practically every scene they're in!
"Santa's Wonderful Workshop" by Elys Dolan is out now, published by OUP / Oxford Children's Books (kindly supplied for review)
