The Christmasaurus (Picture Book)

The Christmasaurus dinosaur is desperate to pull Santa’s sleigh, so Santa tries to train him. But year after year the Christmasaurus fails to fly. Finally, Santa invites him along in the sleigh to feel the thrill of flight – which is magical. But then the Christmasaurus falls into a chimney and is left behind!

Luckily, a little boy sees the prehistoric creature and vows to help him fly. They realise that the essential magic comes from children believing – and this saves the day.

With fun, festive illustrations, including two large flaps to open out, this is a charming Christmas picture book. The little boy happens to be in a wheelchair, but the focus is on his determination to help his new friend, and to believe in magic.

Tom Fletcher has written several chapter books about the Christmasaurus – this is a delightful introduction to the character.
