About this deal

Winston the mouse is on a Very Important Mission. On Christmas Eve, he finds a letter to Father Christmas that did not make it to the post box – so, with no time to lose, he sets out to deliver it himself in time for Christmas Day! He has a lot of Very Exciting Adventures on his Very Important Mission and makes some wonderful friends along the way. Even though Christmas is over, I can't say that this didn't help spread a shred of Christmas spirit or cheer. However, once you realise that the mouse could have just posted the letter again after it flew out of the letterbox and have avoided so much trouble and near death experiences, the story takes a boring toll. The sense of adventure isn't too keen as Winston makes acquaintances with some pigeons, a cat and a rat. They try to help him but all fail miserably as the poor mouse desperately tries to deliver a letter to Father Christmas. I'm aware I'm not the target audience for this book so haven't been harsh about the plot or characters (both of which are fairly simplistic). Of course Christmas isn't just about the things you buy from the shops. I wanted to write a story about the sorts of things that are free - like bravery and kindness. I hope Winston's Christmas adventure shows you that you are never too tiny to be brave and that little acts of kindness can often make huge differences to other people. That was fun! Did you notice it's all different stamps? Can we read it again, right away? Winston is soooo cute and adorable! Let's read it again before Christmas; let's read it in Advent.

From Alex T. Smith, bestselling author of the Claude series, comes How Winston Delivered Christmas – the irresistible story of the brave little mouse who sets out on an adventure on Christmas Eve . Featuring beautiful colour artwork and Christmassy activities to make-and-do throughout, t his gorgeous book is sure to become a festive family tradition that will be enjoyed year after year. You know, I'd like to make the pet robin today because the pet robin isn't a Christmas thing one single bit. Written in twenty-four-and-a-half chapters, one to enjoy each day in the lead up to christmas, each chapter includes it's very own festive activity for all the family to enjoy together – including writing a letter to Father Christmas, making mince pies, designing your very own Christmas cards, making presents, creating decorations, and so much more! The advent calendar chapters. There are 25 chapters, which means children can read one a day in December. I've never seen anything like that before, and I thought it was really smart and sweet. I didn't read it like that but, especially for children, that's a lovely option. When the mixture starts holding together shape it into a ball. You’ve just made your own biscuit dough. Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for twenty minutes.

My kids adore Cyril and Pat – a gorgeous story about friendship and we made this Cyril and Pat craft to go alongside it. The busy bustling shops, the glitzy decorations, the waiting and then of course the big day itself! This book is divided into chapters that can be read each day in December, finishing the story on Christmas Day. Each chapter includes a Christmas activity, craft, game, or event that you can do for some festive fun every day in December. The crafts look really enjoyable, and the instructions are simple. These would be such fun activities to do together with the whole family during the holiday season!

I loved the story! Winston is so adorable and sweet. He's very brave and spunky, and I loved all the quirky characters that he meets. The plot really moves along with different twists and turns, and lots of descriptions of beautiful holiday decorations and food and toys that Winston gazes at longingly. If you count down to Christmas or like seasonal stories (or both), then I highly recommend How Winston Delivered Christmas. And that's from someone who doesn't like animals teaming up with Santa. Though Winston doesn't, he just delivers a letter. Once they are cooked let them cool and then enjoy! They will look really great and taste even better!This is the perfect book to read together as a family during Christmas, and do some of the activities together!
