Santa and his reindeer are not the only ones that live at the North Pole. A very special dinosaur calls it home too. The Christmasaurus dreams of soaring through the sky on Christmas Eve, pulling the sleigh with the other reindeer and helping deliver presents to children. But flying is a lot harder than it looks and despite Santa’s attempts, dino is rooted firmly to the ground. Then one Christmas Eve, Christmasaurus meets a dinosaur-obsessed boy who knows the real magic needed to make dreams come true… Pigs might fly, dinosaurs definitely do! Without losing any of the magic of the middle-grade read, favourite children’s author Tom Fletcher brings his beloved Christmasaurus to a younger audience in a sparkling picture book full of festive fun. Short, sweet and perfect in every way, children will roar loudly for the dream-chasing plucky dinosaur as he discovers that, with the magic of believing, anything is possible. The little boy who helps out is in a wheelchair, it is lovely to have this disabled representation which is never overstated, it is simply there, with the focus being on kindness and lending a hand to a friend in need. With jolly rhymes and fabulous artwork, including two foldout pages, The Christmasaurus will bring smiles to any lives that it swoops into. Heartwarming, humorous and feel-good stuff; an essential picture book for sharing with young ones.
This Christmas miracle is one to treasure and return to year after year! Recommended for 4+.
