How Winston Delivered Christmas: A Christmas Story in Twenty-Four-and-a-Half Chapters

Product Information

A tiny mouse in a world of humans preparing for Christmas, Winston just wants to find a warm place to sleep, but he finds a letter to Santa Claus on Christmas Eve and endeavors to deliver it himself. Winston braves a busy intersection, a cat, a rat, an airplane flight, and a blizzard before he ultimately collides with Santa's sleigh and delivers the letter. Divided into 25 chapters, How Winston Delivered Christmas is paced perfectly for bedtime each night of December through Christmas. You could read them during the day, but we found the chapters an ideal balance of excitement, wind-down, and length for our night routine.

My kids adore Cyril and Pat – a gorgeous story about friendship and we made this Cyril and Pat craft to go alongside it. Cette histoire est toute mimi !! J'ai adoré lire un chapitre par soir (ou deux quand je suis rentrée trop tard le soir précédent). 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.

The plot was quite simplistic but that's to be expected from a children's book. I still enjoyed it a fair amount. 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.

Es ist ein sehr buntes Buch mit vielen ansprechenden Illustrationen, einer wirklich süßen und auch lustigen Geschichte, sehr liebenswert und einfach schön. Of course Christmas isn't just about the things you buy from the shops. I wanted to write a story about the sorts of things that are free - like bravery and kindness. I hope Winston's Christmas adventure shows you that you are never too tiny to be brave and that little acts of kindness can often make huge differences to other people. The busy bustling shops, the glitzy decorations, the waiting and then of course the big day itself!

How to make a cotton-ball snowman:

You know, I'd like to make the pet robin today because the pet robin isn't a Christmas thing one single bit.

Put the flour, butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and then rub all the ingredients together using your hands. Cut a hole in the middle of each biscuit with a small cutter. Ask your grown up to help you with this! 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?This book is divided into chapters that can be read each day in December, finishing the story on Christmas Day. Each chapter includes a Christmas activity, craft, game, or event that you can do for some festive fun every day in December. The crafts look really enjoyable, and the instructions are simple. These would be such fun activities to do together with the whole family during the holiday season! Winston the mouse is on a Very Important Mission. On Christmas Eve, he finds a letter to Father Christmas that did not make it to the post box – so, with no time to lose, he sets out to deliver it himself in time for Christmas Day! He has a lot of Very Exciting Adventures on his Very Important Mission and makes some wonderful friends along the way.
