There's a couple of shopping days left before Christmas, so we thought it would be fun to make our Booky Advent Calendar Day 23 choice of books wholly appropriate.
Well it is "The Night Before The Night Before Christmas" after all. So how is Santa doing with his plans for the big day this year?
As the 23rd December arrives, this fun rhyming homage to the classic poem by Clement C. Moore sees a frenzy of activity up at the North Pole in Santa's workshop.
Green elves are sewing, Blue elves are counting, Red elves are carving,
The pressure IS mounting!
It's the day before Christmas Eve and Santa is ever so busy ... he's got presents to wrap, reindeer to wake and a sleigh to start. But has he forgotten something? And, more importantly, will he be ready in time?
Full of gentle christmas humour, fab rhymes that just trip off the tongue and some beautifully seasonal illustrations, this is a fab book to wheel out on Christmas Eve Eve!
"The Night Before The Night Before Christmas" by Kes Gray and Claire Powell is out now, published by Hodder Children's Books (kindly supplied for review).
