Father Christmas is old, tired and has creaky knees. He needs a break - and who better to replace him than little monster, who can't wait to stretch his wings, see the world and do some good? There's just one problem ... everyone's scared of him!
Can Monster Christmas persuade the world to see past his appearance to the kindness within?
This new Christmas collaboration between Giles Andreae, author of bestselling classic Giraffes Can't Dance, and expert character-crafting illustrator Nikki Dyson is a fun festive story with important themes of friendship, kindness, and acceptance.
