It is Christmas Eve. The family is gathered to share the joy and love that unites them.
Preparations are ready for the morning, except for the one thing that remains for Granny to finish.
But she can’t find her wool.
Clementine and her family search for the missing purple skein of wool.
They look high and low, beneath the coloured paper chains that hang from pictures, and around the tree. At last! Success!
The purple ball appears amongst the gifts. It's end is not visible, but there is a line of purple running through the branches of the Christmas tree.
A pull and a tug bring the tree down on the parcels
below.
Somehow the wool has tangled around the tree and the presents. How can such a thing happen?
Granny sets about untangling the presents, papers and the cards with the names on them, from the wool that confines them. What a mess! She sets to sorting, re-wrapping and re-tagging.
Granny tries to remember which card goes with which present.
What happens the next morning when the presents are
opened brings unexpected reactions. Shock, surprise, wonder, laughter and an abundance of fun, It makes
it the merriest Christmas possible!
The multi-talented, Annie White’s divine illustrations
in soft pastel colours and fine lines, enhance a text, that is perfect for reading
aloud and initiating interaction with children, about their thoughts on the outcome of the story.
A delightful addition to the series of books featuring the lovable Clementine the dog, as the main character.
