Merry Whatmas? - by Eoin McLaughlin (Hardcover)

About the Book

Fox thinks Christmas is about presents, Badger thinks it's about desserts, Magpie thinks it's about singing... Tortoise and Hedgehog begin to feel rather overwhelmed with all the noise and fuss. But in a quiet moment of reflection they learn the most important lesson of all: Christmas is about being with the ones you love.
