Brilliant books to get children reading this Christmas
THERE are plenty of great new festive reads around to keep young readers entertained. Here is our roundup to get you in the cosy holiday mood:
HOW TO FIND A YETI
By Matt Hunt (£7.99, Nosy Crow)
A funny hide-and-seek adventure story featuring a boy, a dog and (maybe) a yeti.
A little boy is sure a yeti lives in the forest behind his house. He hasn't found it yet but one day he is sure he will. The boy decides to hit the trails to search out the mythical creature. He's determined to find it and with his dog, Milo, he searches everywhere. But will they find it?
I FOLLOW THE FOX
by Rob Biddulph (£7.99, HarperCollins)
Little Fox has gone missing. A family search high and low, but the teddy can’t be found. Then, one night, a beautiful fox calls at the window, and the young boy follows her.
This story is from the December 03, 2025 edition of Burton Mail.
