The Truth Pixie

Product Information

Aunt Ruth doesn't divulge too many details about what happened to Nikolas' poor mother, except to suggest that the bear Nikolas and his dad face at the start of the story had something to do with it. This book is about a pixie named the Truth Pixie her name is that because her aunt casted a magic spell over her so she could only say the truth . As if losing his mother wasn't tragedy enough for one kid, Nikolas also has to endure the loss of his father, who cuts the tether to his own rescue sled when he realizes that it's preventing Nikolas' reindeer, Blitzen, from flying the boy away from danger.

Amelia Bullmore told them: “What Olivia does is this: she turns up on set, giggles a bit, wrinkles her nose at herself, smiles at everyone, goofs about, gets to a take and then says what she has to say with a lightness of touch and live-ness and see-through-ness that is truly rare, as many times as is required, and then resumes the nose-wrinkling and goofing. This is a beautiful book that is sensitive and could help children process their emotions better and support their mental well-being. In addition to the wintry landscape, the involvement of reindeer, and the existence of trolls, the tale also features a bit of storytime from a grandmother, which inspires the children to persevere in a critical moment of crisis. But even Elfhelm is suffering, and it's up to Nikolas to rekindle joy in all of the land, even as he grapples with his own grief. However, Nikolas' ragdoll is still going pretty strong at the start of this story, and even when Aunt Carlotta (Kristen Wiig) cruelly cooks it into Nikolas' soup, it's still green and clearly tasty enough to eat.

When the very jealous Easter Bunny launches an attack to ruin Christmas, it’s up to Amelia, her family and the elves to fight off the forces of evil.

Right at the start of the story, we see that he's willing to tussle with a giant bear to give his boy a chance to run away before Anders (Rune Temte) shows up with his trusty arrows and saves them both. It went straight into the Sunday Times bestseller list so thank you to everyone who has bought it already. Of course, Anderson's stories are known to have some dark and twisted elements as well, so the fact that Anders can be a bit ruthless in this film is likely no accident. This resource pack encourages your children to think and reflect on the messages and scenarios throughout the story and see how they can be applied to their lives.

This first magical book in the festive series, from number one bestselling author Matt Haig, and featuring enchanting illustrations from Chris Mould – the very true story of Father Christmas.David Tennant said he’d seen her work for years and he got the impression she was “really sound, straightforward and unpretentious”, so when he met her and realised she really was all of those things, it was a huge relief. She’s really friendly and when we mention that we’re at uni, she keeps on shouting ‘stuuudeennntttts’ in a sort-of Paul Calf voice. This may go over the heads of kids watching the movie, but adults will surely notice the true purpose of Ruth's story. There is a moment in the movie, though, when it seems as though Joel may have given into the darkness, as he tells Anders and the other hunters to tie up Nikolas right alongside the boy elf Little Kipp, who they've all kidnapped. A brand new story for younger readers from number one bestselling author Matt Haig, brilliantly illustrated throughout by Chris Mould.
