Featuring Roland Harvey's brilliant, lolloping illustrations, in his inherently gorgeous, Australian-without-schmaltz style, we meet a wombat Santa and his Australian animal believers, awaiting their bounty from the sleigh, pulled--of course--by flying kangaroos.
Alas, Santa loses his Good Girl/Good Boy list and without it--there's no way a single stocking will get stuffed. Can he find it before Christmas Eve ticks over to Christmas Day?
This is a great book to read Christmas Eve and to sing along to on Christmas Day when everyone is full of food and jolly. It's bound to curl a smile or two.
A full-bore ripper Christmas is absolutely assured in this fun romp--with a bonus snappy new year--and rather cute, snappy ending. Deadset.
