A hilarious, cosy and magical Christmas adventure from the author of Oi Frog!
‘Twas the night before Christmas
(That’s Christmas Eve Eve)
And Santa was wiping
his brow on his sleeve . . .
Up in the North Pole, bells are jingling, reindeer are limbering up and Santa’s sleigh is being polished – but will Santa and his elves have everything ready in time for THE BIG DAY?
This delightfully funny twist on Clement C. Moore’s classic poem is the perfect stocking filler or advent gift for anyone who’s ever wondered what REALLY happens behind the scenes in the run-up to the most magical night of the year . . .
