Um mich war es hier schon geschehen, als das Buch bei mir eintraf und ich es erste Mal in echt bewundern durfte. Ich liebe dieses Cover! Die Maus sieht so knuffig aus, die Häuser im Hintergrund sind so hübsch gezeichnet und einfach nur mega finde ich die Glitzerelemente. Das Cover schimmert ganz zauberhaft, wenn man es ins Licht hält. In meinen Augen ist es ein richtiger Eyecatcher. From Alex T.

Gemeinsam mit dem Mäuserich Maximilian, begibt man sich auf eine turbulente und abenteuerliche Reise durch eine große verschneite, weihnachtliche Stadt kurz vor dem heiligen Abend. Die anschaulichen Beschreibungen der Orte haben mir die tollsten Bilder in den Kopf gezaubert und die originellen Formulierungen haben mich immer wieder breit schmunzeln lassen. Die magische Atmosphäre, die hier durchweg herrscht, konnte mich vollkommen in ihren Bann ziehen und in den mutigen Maximilian habe ich mich vom ersten Moment an verliebt. Die weiteren Figuren wurden ebenfalls super liebevoll ausgearbeitet. Maximilian wird auf seiner weihnachtlichen Mission so einigen Tieren begegnen, die ihm helfen werden und die sich, wie der Mäuserich, sofort in die Herzen von uns Lesern schleichen.

I've always loved winter. All those frosty mornings and getting cosy after being outside in the cold. And when December arrives Christmas magic is in the air!

Every day there are instructions for baking, making gifts or other Christmas crafts to keep children busy throughout December. Christmassy recipes include gingerbread mice, stained glass windows and ideas for making your own party food and there are so many great seasonal activities. I love the ideas for Random Acts of Kindness at Christmas and enjoyed reading about International Christmas Traditions. A Christmas Scavenger Hunt sounds fun and my favourite crafts are Make a PomPom Robin and Make Christmas Fairy Peg-Dolls, they’re the kind of crafts that I enjoyed as a child.

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. Ganz verliebt bin ich auch in die vielen großartigen farbenfrohen Illustrationen des Autors. Mein persönliches Highlight ist das Bild, das den Querschnitt eines Puppenhauses zeigt. An der wunderhübschen Zeichnung konnte ich mich gar nicht sattsehen. 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. From Alex T. Smith, bestselling author of the Claude series, comes How Winston Came Home for Christmas – the festive sequel to the much-loved How Winston Delivered Christmas. Full of gorgeous colour artwork and Christmassy activities, this second Winston adventure is sure to become a Christmas classic to be enjoyed year after year.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! How Winston Delivered Christmas is a delightful book written in 24 and a half chapters that are designed to be read, one a day, from the 1st to 24th December, with the half chapter at the end to be read on Christmas Day. I got the idea when I was helping my niece and nephews write their letters to Father Christmas and I wondered (with a shiver) what would happen if one of the letters got waylaid? Hopefully there would be some kind of person (or in this case a mouse) to deliver it for us. And what adventures would they have? 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.
