A new picture-book Christmasaurus story from beloved children's author Tom Fletcher, with breathtaking illustrations from Shane Devries - now in paperback!

Meet the Christmasaurus, a very special dinosaur who’s determined to make Christmas perfect . . .
'Twas the night before Christmas and at the North Pole,
The festive excitement was out of control!
The elves were all wrapping the last of the toys
That Santa would soon give to good girls and boys . . .

All Christmasaurus wants to do is help Santa and the elves get ready for the big day. But everything he does goes disastrously wrong.

Then, someone special shows him that things don't need to be perfect to wonderful.

Because the true spirit of Christmas comes from the unique sparkle in each and every one of us.

With brilliant read-aloud rhyme by Tom Fletcher, magical illustrations from Shane Devries and two stunning pull-out gatefold spreads, this gorgeous book is the perfect Christmas gift.
