Harvey Slumfenburger's Christmas Present
£7.99
notes
A 30th anniversary edition of a Christmas classic, this picture book explores the themes of kindness and sharing the Christmas spirit. The last gift left in Father Christmas’ sack is destined for Harvey Slumfenburger, but to get it to him Father Christmas will have to take many modes of transport to travel miles away to the Roly Poly Mountain. A lovely book that is still as relevant now as it was 30 years ago.

John Burningham has since written and illustrated over thirty picture books, that have been translated and distributed all over the world.
