When Father Christmas sets off to deliver the presents, poor Bear is left behind in the workshop! How will he make it to Tom's house in time for Christmas morning?

Young children can join in the festive fun and lift the flaps on every page, as Bear chases Santa's sleigh through icy seas and snowy forests, all the way from the North Pole to Tom's cosy bedroom.

With a laugh-out-loud text full of witty rhymes and silly scenarios from Ian Whybrow, and illustrations by Axel Scheffler, illustrator of The Gruffalo, that are bursting with funny details, The Christmas Bear is a Christmas book with a difference.

Enjoy more adventures from Axel Scheffler and Ian Whybrow with The Tickle Book and The Bedtime Bear.

A lift-the-flap christmas book!
