Welcome, welcome, welcome to our stunning Booky Advent Calendar 2019 - with a peek behind door one, and a book that arrived in the midst of a boiling hot summer. Yes indeed, this one was our very first Christmas picture book arrival of this year, and there's nothing more christmassy than reading all about one of the naughtiest unicorns in the world, and his antics around yuletide.

"Oscar The Hungry Unicorn Eats Christmas" by Lou Carter and Nikki Dyson reunites this dream team for a new tale about the surly, grumpy and ever-hungry Unicorn as his bestie Princess Oola readies herself for the big day.

But just before Santa can wedge his big fat bum down the chimney, Oola makes a horrifying discovery. Oscar has eaten the blimmin' Christmas Tree.

What's more, Oscar doesn't stop there, he's determined to scoff just about everything Oola has laid out for Christmas. What on earth will Santa say? Will she end up on the naughty list? Oscar certainly might!

Brilliantly funny with gorgeous christmassy and colourful illustrations, get your Christmas booky celebrations under way in grand style.

"Oscar the Hungry Unicorn Eats Christmas" by Lou Carter and Nikki Dyson is out now, published by Orchard Books (kindly supplied for review).

With possibly the sparkliest cover we've seen in a long time, meet Oscar, a mythical creature with a heck of an appetite!

We must admit, we were a bit puzzled by this book at first. Surely every story ever written would be improved 100% with the addition of dragons?
