A whimsical and enchanting reimagining of the beloved Christmas classic, this delightful book seamlessly blends the magic of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with the festive spirit of Christmas.

The familiar poem takes on a fantastical twist, transporting readers to a Wonderland where we learn the reason why the Queen of Hearts hates Christmas. The illustrations are truly breathtaking, capturing the whimsical atmosphere and bringing the Wonderland characters to life with vibrant colours and intricate details.

The rhyming is clever and flows beautifully, making it a joy to read aloud. This heartwarming story is sure to become a cherished family tradition, sparking imaginations and spreading holiday cheer.

Highly recommended for families with children of all ages. This book is a delightful addition to any Christmas library and a perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with a touch of Wonderland magic.

Meet Steve, a rather – hot – cross bunny and his more positive pal, Nugget, a cute chick. Steve has failed to make any chocolate eggs for the Easter egg hunt. What is he going to do?

Egged on by Nugget he decides to make an egg his own way. Not only is Steve’s attempt egg-normous but it hatches a… dragon! Chaos and drama unfold as the baby dragon rampages though town, gobbling up Easter eggs as it goes with unegg-spected results!

Fun, rhyming text makes this is a wonderful Easter story with a twist, packed with laughter and super silly escapades.

Who needs cute bunnies when you have hot-cross Steve and a dragon baby who poos chocolate… but can they save Easter?
