I did not know that this book existed and so when I ran across it I immediately bought it and read it well in advance of the Christmas season.I wish they would just stick to one style instead of mixing different elements that don't really match. Lauren Child has published many picture books, including The New Small Person , Absolutely One Thing , and A Dog with Nice Ears , as well as the hugely popular Charlie and Lola and Clarice Bean series and a spin-off series of novels about Ruby Redfort. For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005), a panel named it one of the top ten winning works, which comprised the shortlist for a public vote for the nation's favourite. I bought this as a gift - but read it as I wanted to check its suitability ( and make sure there were no Christmas spoilers). We've read all of the Clarice Bean books that we've been able to find plus the Charlie and Lola books and others that Lauren Child has written or collaborated on.

A delightful story to read this time of the year about the wonder of Christmas and with an added special message of hope, compassion and humankind. She is the creator of many much-loved characters, including Clarice Bean, Ruby Redfort, and Charlie and Lola. I’m happy to report that not only was it entirely suitable I found myself laughing out loud at some of the perfectly painted family moments - and very pleased by the happy ending.This item: Clarice Bean: Think Like an Elf: The utterly joyful and sparkling new Clarice Bean Christmas story from Lauren Child: The utterly joyful and sparkling Clarice Bean Christmas story from Lauren Child.
