NEWS: Happy Christmas



Hi,
It's Christmas at Tatty's Treasure Chest and as such we're getting ready for a nice long Catnap and will be back in January for a whole new host of books.

We hope that you'll join us and wish you all a happy as well as Safe Christmas. Here's the pic I did with my friends to prepare for the big day.

But remember to hold on to your pants - this special pants giveaway is for one day only. Ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas!


REVIEW:

Having loved the previous titles by Claire and Ben, I really couldn’t wait for this Christmas themed one to land, and whilst it was originally released back in October, it was a magical moment to save it for this, the holiday period. As usual, you get a quirky story as our heroes come to the rescue of Father Christmas as he makes his way to all the children in the world. It’s beautifully told, the illustrations a lot of fun as well as brightly coloured and it’s a great addition to any children’s library or a great story to help them get to sleep on the hardest night of the year.

All in a great book and one that we absolutely loved. With luck you’ll get the same pleasure the we did from this title.
