					<description><![CDATA[Tomas and Lolli love Christmas. And they're not the only ones! Their dragons love Christmas, too. But they have a habit of getting into trouble. When a brand-new snow dragon hatches on Christmas Eve, she unleashes a flurry of snow that transforms their dragon-growing garden into a winter wonderland. It's all fun and snowball fights to start with - but there's one BIG downside. There's now SO much snow that they're stuck and won't be able to deliver the Christmas presents in time!

<p>It&#8217;s all fun and snowball fights to start with&#8230; but there&#8217;s one BIG downside. There&#8217;s now SO much snow that they&#8217;re stuck and won&#8217;t be able to deliver the Christmas presents in time! Can Tomas, Lolli, Grandad and the dragons work together to save Christmas and spread a little magic? </p>
<p><b>A winter-warmer of a picture book, which captures all the magic and mayhem of <i>The Boy Who Grew Dragons, </i>but for a younger audience.</b></p>
<p>Andy Shepherd&#8217;s sparkling writing conjures warmth and charm with every phrase and her characters are artfully brought to life by the stunning illustrations of Sarah Warburton (<i>The Princess and the Pea; Dinosaurs in the Supermarket; Twinkle</i>).</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Have you ever looked at a tree and seen a face staring back? Maybe you spotted a knobbly brow or a knotty pair of eyes, or even a mossy beard? Well, next time you do, stop staring and say hello! When Iggy discovers overgrown Wildtop Wood at the end of his new garden, he couldn't be more excited. A whole new world opens up for him and his brother Cal, high in the treetops, a world of tangled greenery and unexpected adventure. But some say the wood is a place of danger and mystery. And as Iggy and Cal venture further into the trees, they hear whispers of a fading green magic, and scampering animals seem to be leading them to a secret deep at the heart of the wood. Could it be that the wood needs them just as much as they need it?]]></description>
