Father Christmas Comes Up Trumps!

A cheeky seasonal treat and sequel to the hugely popular Father Christmas Needs a Wee!

Told through rhyming couplets, children will love to join in with this one and the onomatopoeic words will encourage enthusiastic interaction... Be prepared for squeals of glee and cheeky laughter from start to finish.

A lively and fun story to get children into the Christmas spirit and with its rhyming text, rooftop spreads and the delight of a 'naughty word', it makes a great read-aloud

Written with great descriptive text ... Any young child is going to find this book thoroughly entertaining

This is laugh out loud stuff, just right for letting off  steam after that magnificent Christmas dinner (with sprouts, of course), but  children and parents will be happy to return to this lovely book any time of the  year.

Father Christmas is back, and this time he's had three helping of sprouts! As he tries to deliver the presents, his tummy rumbles, gurgles and groans, but Father Christmas knows he must keep it in - he doesn't want to wake anyone up! 
 
Will he come up TRUMPS?

Uh-oh - help Father Christmas navigate Christmas Eve with the gurgliest, rumbliest tummy...
