Russell's Christmas Magic

by Rob Scotton

Russell's Christmas Magic Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Russell the Sheep saves Christmas from near disaster . . . with a little bit of magic. In this pure holiday treat, Santa and his sleigh are stranded in Firefly Wood--that is until Russell comes to the rescue. With a clatter and a bang, Russell shows that hard work and imagination can lead to holiday miracles. Rob Scotton is the author and illustrator of the bestselling "Russell the Sheep" and "Russell and the Lost Treasure." (All Ages)

Review:

"Would that all sheep were as cute as Russell, the stocking-capped insomniac of Frogsbottom Field. After witnessing Santa's spectacular Christmas Eve sleigh crash, the woolly wonder snaps into action to save the holiday and get the man of the hour — and a clever new mode of toy transport — back in flight. Scotton (Russell the Sheep) knits together a pleasant tale with some silly, snowy scenes featuring a frog friend and a truly excitable Santa. Yet Russell's latest lacks the spark of droll humor that fueled its predecessors; the quirkily introspective sheep's exploits lose something when Santa shares the spotlight. Ages 3-7." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

When Santa and his broken sleigh are stranded in Firefly Wood, Santa is sure that Christmas will have to be canceled. That is, until Russell the Sheep comes to the rescue! With a clatter and a bang, Russell shows that hard work and a little imagination can make a magic that is all his own.

Everyone's favorite woolly sheep is baaaack in a Christmas story perfect for any eager child awaiting Santa's arrival.
