A natural follow on from “The Secret’s Out! Santa Tells All” with quality illustrations and a story line that gives an insight into how Santa spends the day after that extra special night. Young children will easily relate to the fun and excitement and there’s plenty to entertain the adult reader too. The story ends with an unanswered question, perhaps a case of watch this space!
A magical Christmas story. Full of fun, excitement and laughter. Young children will enjoy listening and immersing themselves in Santas world, because who doesn’t love a party.
I am absolutely delighted with this story book and would definitely recommend it . Every page is brimming with fun and Christmas cheer
This is a delightful story for children which adults will also enjoy. The story begins with the child elves making their Christmas preparations, but not for delivering presents, instead they’re planning a big party for the return of Santa and the older elves. We discover all the party preparation and the traditions of the elves, some of which will have you laughing, especially when you read what the ‘Jolly Wobblers’ like to dance to! I’d really recommend this book for young children, it’s fun to read and packed with beautiful illustrations.
A beautifully illustrated Christmas story for all the family to enjoy. A book for children and grown ups alike where you enter the magical world of Santa. Children will want to listen to the story over and over again. A must have for Christmas.
A well written book by someone who clearly understands young children. It’s a modernised Christmas tale with animated and detailed pictures that add to the story well, and tie in with the text on the page. Colourful, the font is large and the story is readable and likely to please any young child. Planning to give this to my nephew as a present.
A cheerful story offering an answer to one of those questions many children will ponder - what happens when Santa gets home after his busy night? It’s a funny, clever description of the elves’ preparation for Santa’s return and how Santa responds. I think children will enjoy this story and the accompanying illustrations.
This is the second Christmas book from this author and I think even better than the first. She writes in such a way that captivates the audience, supported by the vibrant illustrations this is a must for your young ones to find under the tree this year.
