About this ebook

A brilliantly funny new festive picture book from the bestselling and award-winning creator of Oi Frog!

One night before Christmas, some years ago
(Please keep this a secret . . . you're not meant to know!)
This doesn't start well so I'll just tell you straight,
'Twas the night before Christmas
WHEN SANTA WAS LATE!

High up in the night sky, Santa is trying desperately to fix his broken-down sleigh. And when he finally manages, he only has three hours left to fly around the whole world!

Is Santa too late to deliver Christmas? Or might some old garden gnomes and a sprinkling of magic just save the day?

A laugh-out-loud sequel to The Night Before the Night Before Christmas and The Night After Christmas, inspired by the classic poem by Clement C. Moore. The perfect gift for sharing on Christmas Eve.
