An Aussie Night Before Christmas Board Game Book Yvonne Morrison & Niland Kilmeny (Scholastic)This title appeared last year and was hugely successful but this latest evolution takes it to a new dimension. This time not only is the title a delightfully executed picture book with lovely text and illustrations but the book also contains six wonderful Christmas themed board games (with instructions), stickers and playing cards. This book is just perfect for family reading on Christmas day and also for taking care of those "what do we do" hours after the Christmas feast.
Brucie Saves Christmas Yvonne Morrison & Michelle Pike (Scholastic)This is the sequel to An Aussie Night Before Christmas - this time its Brucie the joey who saves the day.
But how can a roo who loves reading books and doing science reports, who can't tie presents or cook puddings and who definitely can't fly like all of Santa’s other roos save the day?
All will be revealed on the night before Christmas when a blinding storm rolls in that will surely stop Santa delivering his presents!
Australian Twelve Days Christmas Board Book Heath McKenzie (Black Dog Books)This picture book is now a board book which is just right for little hands who love to grab and hold.
And of course it wouldn’t be the Australian twelve days of Christmas without 12 Australian animals, including emus, wombats crocs, penguins and
... a kookaburra up a gum tree!
Twelve Dogs Of Christmas Kevin Whitlark (Scholastic)The traditional twelve days of Christmas has morphed into the twelve Dogs of Christmas and is filled with everything doggie. There are puppies pooping pooches playing canines skating labs licking .... and a fat cat in a fur tree!
It is a delightful interpretation of the original.
So dash along to your local independant books stores and grab these Christmas treats.
