In a nutshell: gentle, heart-warming story of a little girl and her puffin
Christmas is coming but Polly can’t seem to get in the right mood: Neil her puffin friend is preoccupied with his girlfriend who is hatching their egg, and when she and her mum make a special trip from their island home to Edinburgh to see Father Christmas, Polly takes the wrong list with her and then loses her puffin toy.
Jenny Colgan understands all the ups and downs of being a child, and how frustrating it is when nothing is really in your control, and describes it very well here. Fortunately, reading the Christmas story with her mother cheers Polly up and then on Christmas day, the puffling hatches. With its short text, lively adventure and charming illustrations this is particularly good for newly confident readers, but lovely for sharing too. ~ Andrea Reece
