We’re stressed! We all need to rest

We keep getting tangled in tape.

Oh it just isn’t fair! All toys should be square!

But here comes another weird shape!

Join the Christmas chaos in this flap-filled festive adventure!

It’s Christmas Eve but all is not well in Santa’s workshop . . . The toy-building elves are exhausted, the gift-wrappers are tangled in tape and the reindeer-wranglers are ready to strike! Will Christmas be cancelled, or can one elf’s quick thinking and festive spirit save the day? Lift the flaps to discover every corner of the workshop, from the reindeer stables to the wrapping room. Children will love this engaging, inventive story, and parents may well empathise with the stressed, overworked elves!

This funny, festive book full of flaps pairs humorous text by Nicola Edwards with charming illustrations by Pauline Gregory to capture the essence of a chaotic Christmas. But between the stress and all the mess, have the elves forgotten what Christmas is really about?

An illustrated picturebook-style non-fiction guide to the life of Elizabeth II, focussing on her younger years.
