A delightfully witty and tender-hearted Christmas story like none other, introducing a unique author and illustrator collaboration to make for a very special Little Gem.

Jo-Jo is convinced that Christmas is cancelled – and it’s all his fault. To make amends, he decides he must become Father Christmas. An old coat of his mum’s, a sack of outgrown toys and a sudden snowfall are all he needs – along with a little help from some very Christmassy magic. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.

It was funny because the boys father said he killed Father Christmas and then he started to turn into him

It’s quite good, I liked the fact he thought he had killed Father Christmas.

This is about a boy who’s mother and father always had fights. I liked this book because it was funny. My favourite character was the boys sister called Rosie. I recommend you to read this book because it is really funny.

I found the story quite short and I wanted it to be longer I did like it when the boy jumped out the window as father Christmas and then met father Christmas on the way out. But he thought he had killed him
