'Ferdie's Christmas' is a beautifully written tale to be enjoyed by children of all ages. In this story, Ferdie is concerned that Father Christmas might not be able to find his friends' (the rabbits) new burrow to deliver their presents. Ferdie comes up with a plan that, with the help of his other woodland friends, aims to ensure that the rabbits have a great Christmas too. This is a well-written tale, with outstanding and equally stunning illustrations. Be warned, Father Christmas does not feature pictorially in this story unlike many at this time of the year (my nearly three year old was a little disappointed by this!) but I think it is wonderful to have a picture book that captures the true essence of Christmas without surrendering to the commercial pull of 'Father Christmas'. A warm and enchanting tale about caring and sharing with those closest to you at Christmas time. A definite must for all children this festive season.
