This is an occasion story with a difference! And one that children will delight in as they watch naughty Kitty McCatty create complete Christmas Eve chaos.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Kitty McCatty was chasing a mouse.
It's Christmas Eve, and the baubles are bickering over the best spots on the Christmas tree, when an unexpected visitor appears.
A tree-toppling catastrophe seems certain ... unless the decorations can set aside their differences and work together
From the talented and award-winning duo, Emma Bowd and Matt Shanks, comes a rollicking festive tale full of humour and heart -- and more than a tiny bit of tinsel.
