Barrie Saves Christmas
Regular price
€17.50
A high-energy, brilliantly silly, fully illustrated festive
adventure story by much-loved actor Stephen Mangan and talented
artist Anita Mangan.
Barrie is a St Bernard dog who much prefers snoozing and farting
in front of a cosy fire than going on daring rescue missions through
high winds, driving snow and avalanches.
On Christmas Eve, his humans Carrie and Laurence find a top-secret
network of underground tunnels accessed by climbing into postboxes
- and there's an extra special twist! The tunnels are designed
for squirrels to transport presents from Father Christmas' workshop
in the North Pole to all the children of the world.
When a mysterious elf seems set on sabotaging the tunnels, the
kids and Barrie must stop him and SAVE CHRISTMAS!
This funniest festive adventure is a must-read spin on The
Night Before Christmas
From the bestselling creators of The Fart That Changed the
World and The Day I Fell Down the Toilet
A laugh out loud celebration of the magic of Christmas
