Richard and Judy’s Children's Christmas Book Club 2011

25 October 2011

Booktrust teams up again with WHSmith for Richard and Judy’s Children's Christmas Book Club 2011.

The Richard and Judy Children's Christmas Book Club is made up of 12 interactive titles for mixed age groups aimed at both boys and girls, and seeks to help parents and carers choose great books for Christmas which children will love. The titles are available in WHSmith stores across the country from 29 September at special promotional prices.

Revisit classic stories such as Puss in Boots, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pippi Longstocking, brought to life with pop-ups and stunning illustrations. Learn to cook with everyone's favourite bear, Paddington, go back in time and explore medieval castles and ancient Egypt or create your own stories with a wind-up tractor book. Younger children can giggle along with Boris, snuggle up with Snuggle Bunny or explore animal noises with Dear Zoo.
