Lollipop and Grandpa and the Christmas Baby

Lollipop and Grandpa and the Christmas Baby by Penelope Harper

Lollipop would like a bike for Christmas. What she most definitely does not want for Christmas, is a new baby brother or sister. Will Grandpa change her mind? This is a Christmas story with a twist that celebrates the childhood joy and excitement of Christmas combined with the familiar anxities about having a new sibling, particularly when the new sibling is very ill-timed...Lollipop and Grandpa are intrepid explorers, always on the lookout for the next adventure. Underpinning the series is the relationship between an intelligent, inquisitive little girl and her mischievous grandparent who understands the workings of a child's mind brilliantly. All stories combine the familiar trials and tribulations of being 4-years-old with great fantasy adventures arising from ordinary, everyday identifiable situations. REVIEWS: I love the Lollipop and Grandpa books and the way they depict the loving relationship between the two, and it is perfect to reflect what Christmas should be about. Lollipop wants a new bike for Christmas - what she definitely doesn't want is a baby.As always, Grandpa with his innate understanding of just what little girls want, comes to the rescue and, of course, everyone has a very special Christmas even if it doesn't go quite to plan.
