Synopsis

Sarah Garland's lively books about the ups and downs of family life now get a new lease of life as large format board books. In Doing Christmas, the family are really busy in the run-up to Christmas. There's the tree to dress, the stirring of the pudding (and the making of a wish) and plenty of shopping. Then the big day arrives, and along with it, Granny, in her snazzy sports car, bearing gifts. Sarah Garland's best-loved family enjoy a wonderful Christmas together, and even the youngest child will enjoy sharing in their fun.
