This little book is just the thing to put the very, very young in the Christmas spirit! In jolly rhyme and across five sturdy board book pages, it tells five favourite stories, including The Nutcracker, The Snow Queen and The First Christmas Story. Each page is full of things for baby to look at and features a special peepo flap as well as trails for little fingers to follow, making this a thoroughly tactile and happy reading experience. The illustrations are bright and attractive and this will be satisfying and fun for baby and grown-up alike. ~ Andrea Reece
