Christmas

A Christmas present to read together this Christmas and every one after

There is plenty under the tree that is fun for a week. A book with the child in the lead role becomes part of Christmas: a story to read on Christmas Eve, to bring out every December, with the family, the pet and perhaps Santa himself in the story.

A Christmas present that becomes a tradition

Christmas is full of things that come back: the same gingerbread cutter, the same songs, the same advent calendar. A book where the child is the hero can become one of them. Read it on Christmas morning, bring it out when the tree goes up next year and see how much the child has grown since last time. The story can be set in a snowy landscape, at the North Pole or in Santa's workshop, and brothers, sisters, cousins, grandparents and the pet can join the adventure.

Let Christmas be the adventure

Choose the Christmas theme or a winter adventure such as At the North Pole, or a book idea such as Santa's Lost List.

When should I order?

The eBook is ready a few minutes after payment, so it is in time even for Christmas morning. The hardback book is printed and sent to order; printing and delivery take one to two weeks, and in December the post can be slower. So order the printed book at the beginning of December at the latest. See the prices for the eBook, the hardback book and extra copies for grandparents.

A book that reads itself

Add the audiobook and a QR code is printed in the book. The child scans it with a phone or tablet and hears their own story read aloud, page by page. Do add the colouring pages too: the book's pictures as a colouring book, for the quiet days between Christmas and New Year.

Remind me before Christmas

Not quite yet? We e-mail you a few days before the last day to order a printed book for Christmas. Once a year, nothing else.

You turn the reminder on in the e-mail we send. We keep only the address and the occasion, see the privacy policy.
