Such a cute little Christmas story which is perfect for the whole family to enjoy!
It reminded me so much of Roald Dahl and this made like the book even more. Maybe because the drawings are made by Quentin Blake who worked with Mr Dahl.

A lovely little Christmas read. The story is a good 45 years old but reads as if it was unwrapped just now: fresh, crispy, genuinely funny with a bit of suspense. Truly enjoyable how a cleverly crafted storyline like this one takes its young readers seriously while at the same time challenging them to be different.
