On Christmas Eve, an eight-year-old boy called Oliver posts his letter to Father Christmas in a postbox – or, he thinks he does, but for some reason, it misses the slot and gets lost in the snow. I'm aware I'm not the target audience for this book so haven't been harsh about the plot or characters (both of which are fairly simplistic).
Join Winston the mouse as he sets out on another irresistible Christmas adventure! A Christmas mystery written in 24-and-a-half-chapters – one to read every day of December, each chapter includes it's very own festive activity for all the family to enjoy together.

Gemeinsam mit dem Mäuserich Maximilian, begibt man sich auf eine turbulente und abenteuerliche Reise durch eine große verschneite, weihnachtliche Stadt kurz vor dem heiligen Abend. Die anschaulichen Beschreibungen der Orte haben mir die tollsten Bilder in den Kopf gezaubert und die originellen Formulierungen haben mich immer wieder breit schmunzeln lassen. Die magische Atmosphäre, die hier durchweg herrscht, konnte mich vollkommen in ihren Bann ziehen und in den mutigen Maximilian habe ich mich vom ersten Moment an verliebt. How Winston Delivered Christmas isn’t just a story book and abeautifully illustrated index introduces us to chapter headings and a daily activity. Every day there are instructions for baking, making gifts or other Christmas crafts to keep children busy throughout December. Christmassy recipes include gingerbread mice, stained glass windows and ideas for making your own party food and there are so many great seasonal activities. I love the ideas for Random Acts of Kindness at Christmas and enjoyed reading about International Christmas Traditions. A Christmas Scavenger Hunt sounds fun and my favourite crafts are Make a PomPom Robin and Make Christmas Fairy Peg-Dolls, they’re the kind of crafts that I enjoyed as a child.

I got the idea when I was helping my niece and nephews write their letters to Father Christmas and I wondered (with a shiver) what would happen if one of the letters got waylaid? Hopefully there would be some kind of person (or in this case a mouse) to deliver it for us. And what adventures would they have? The advent calendar chapters. There are 25 chapters, which means children can read one a day in December. I've never seen anything like that before, and I thought it was really smart and sweet. I didn't read it like that but, especially for children, that's a lovely option. Written in twenty-four-and-a-half chapters, one to enjoy each day in the lead up to christmas, each chapter includes it's very own festive activity for all the family to enjoy together – including writing a letter to Father Christmas, making mince pies, designing your very own Christmas cards, making presents, creating decorations, and so much more! I loved the story! Winston is so adorable and sweet. He's very brave and spunky, and I loved all the quirky characters that he meets. The plot really moves along with different twists and turns, and lots of descriptions of beautiful holiday decorations and food and toys that Winston gazes at longingly. Even though Christmas is over, I can't say that this didn't help spread a shred of Christmas spirit or cheer. However, once you realise that the mouse could have just posted the letter again after it flew out of the letterbox and have avoided so much trouble and near death experiences, the story takes a boring toll. The sense of adventure isn't too keen as Winston makes acquaintances with some pigeons, a cat and a rat. They try to help him but all fail miserably as the poor mouse desperately tries to deliver a letter to Father Christmas.
From Alex T. Smith, bestselling author of the Claude series, comes How Winston Delivered Christmas – the irresistible story of the brave little mouse who sets out on an adventure on Christmas Eve. Featuring beautiful colour artwork and Christmassy activities to make-and-do throughout, this gorgeous book is sure to become a festive family tradition that will be enjoyed year after year. Interspersed with Winston’s story are 24 Christmassy activities, from making party invitations to building a snow globe and a pom-pom robin to a creating a guide to random acts of kindness. A wonderful idea for Christmas. The busy bustling shops, the glitzy decorations, the waiting and then of course the big day itself! Alex has captured all the sights and smells of Christmas with the most delicious descriptions and sumptuous illustrations, the story is a feast for all senses. The dolls house, which plays an important role in the story, is absolutely beautiful and the gingerbread castle in the bakery is awesome but my favourite illustration shows Winston in the stable with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. I'd give it to Santa. I'd look for a red light in the sky. So I'd have a ladder, and I'd climb up onto a building, and if I saw a helicopter I'd grab onto it. I'd give the letter to Santa Claus.
