More brilliant stories about children at Christmas

Following on from the terrific success of A Wayne in a Manger, Gervase Phinn has collected together from his bestselling Dales books his favourite stories about children, and included some poems from his popular Puffin poetry books.

In this humorously illustrated book, the stories have one thing in common

the wonderfully funny (and usually innocent) things that children say. What makes Naomi’s granny wobble? What’s the secret ingredient in Richard’s jam tarts? What is Billy’s unconventional method for making babies?

Whether they are stories about children who cannot read very well but know the names of many breeds of sheep or children who are more privileged (coming to school in a Wolls-Woyce), they are simply delightful. This heart-warming book will not only enchant you, it will make you look at life through a child’s eyes

and that’s quite a special thing.
