Virtually Christmas: A funny illustrated children’s book from million-copy bestseller David Baddiel - fantastic festive fun for kids!

Product Information

One thing I would say is that it’s more suited to older children due to there being a few chapters focused on the corporate/commercial world which younger readers/listeners may find boring. It used to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year, but for years Christmas has been taken over by Winterzone. Awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, this stunningly illustrated companion to The Rhythm of the Rain and Wild is the Wind is a magical and memorable picture book. The story depicts the alternative futuristic Christmas and two children who strive to get the traditional Christmas back. She has been told stories about how Christmas used to be and is determined not to put up with this soulless facsimile ay longer.

I enjoyed how simple yet unique this story was and it is a lovely festive read that I know my children will thoroughly enjoy now that I've finished borrowing their book.

This is an entertaining story in itself, but with the capacity to encourage some great what-if thinking.

Racing against time and against the might of Winterzone, they must find the real Santa – before the true meaning of the festive season is lost forever .
