LoveReading4Kids Says
Planning your Christmas celebrations? This laugh-out-loud picture book could help you avoid making what could be catastrophic errors.
Don’t for example, be tempted to let racoons decorate your tree; fast and agile they may be, but they don’t understand that baubles are fragile.
At all costs, avoid asking a nanny goat to help unwrap your presents; she’ll rip them open, then eat the lot.
Want your Christmas dinner on time? Then don’t let a wildebeest into the kitchen.
There’s more invaluable, and hilarious advice where this came from, delivered across double pages in the sharpest rhyming text and in David Tazzyman’s wildly energetic illustrations. A new classic in this hugely popular series.
