About this book

Wiggle the legs of some Christmas characters! There’s a little fairy with glittery wings, an elf with a bell that rings, a reindeer that’s ready to go and a Santa who says, ‘Ho-ho-ho!’.

Nick Sharratt’s bright illustrations and Sally Symes’ rhyming text combine to produce a joyful book to share with little ones. With fun sound words to repeat, and lots of interactive play, this is the perfect Christmas book for babies.
