Right now we are reading in The Christmasaurus by British 'prodigy', band member of McFly, youtube vlogger and children's author Tom Fletcher. The prologue of the book was a bit shocking for our younger mini-monsters, the burning mega-meteorite hitting Earth and killing all life on the planet.

This book is totally unsuitable for our 4 year olds, which is the starting age according to bol.com. We like that the kids find the story in itself funny, but we don't really get into it. Maybe the picture book version would have been better for our mini-monsters.

The drawings in this book are by Australian (architectural) illustrator Shane Devries. They are cute and appealing, his Dinosaur is cute and the Christmas spirit is - even without colours - abundantly present!

At the moment part three is already out, due to great success it has become a series. We'll leave it at part 1, we do not love the book . There are so many wonderful new books coming out that we would much rather buy than, endlessly build on a theme.

2 bright shining Christmas stars for the Chistmasaurus, from our little listeners and their readers!
