2017 Story Snug Advent Calendar
It’s time to reveal our fifth Story Snug Advent Calendar!
Father Christmas And Me by Matt Haig & Chris Mould
We love Father Christmas And Me and once we started reading we couldn’t put it down!

The blurb on the back of the book says ‘Let The Battle For Christmas Begin…’.

Make & Play Nativity by Joey Chou
Joey Chou’s Make & Play Nativity is a wonderful introduction to the Nativity for toddlers, pre-schoolers and Early Years children but it’s also a fun activity for older children. This sturdy little board book includes 20 press out figures, craft ideas, The Christmas Story and a selection of popular Christmas carols.

The Storm Dog takes us back in time with Tilly who is learning about life in World War Two for a school project. Great-Gran is nearly ninety and sends Tilly a parcel which takes her back in time to give her the experience of an evacuee firsthand. We really enjoyed this story, as well as…
