The Big Christmas Rescue by Rory Stamp, illustrated by Hannah Cumming
(A personalised adventure book available from and sold in aid of the RNLI)

If shops can open their Christmas departments in July I don’t see why I can’t review Christmas books in January!

I realise this is too late for 2015, but you know what they say, “shop early for Christmas”! I bought this as a last minute gift for my little friend Callum; I hope he enjoyed it as much as I did.

It’s cold and raining outside and children everywhere are tucked up in bed, looking forward to Christmas. When Santa crashes his sleigh he needs help. And so does Rudolph. Guess who saves the day and makes sure everyone’s presents can be delivered?

A simple and charming, personalised story, available in hardback or paperback. Not only can you name the child in the story but you can specify their gender and skin tone. And you’ll be helping RNLI save lives at the same time.
