Father Christmas
by Raymond Briggs
Father Christmas grumbles his way through the worst working night of the year — the weather, the chimneys, the cat — and then puts his feet up.
A story about a grown-up hero, funny and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 4–8, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
