The Princess and the Christmas Rescue

A fabulously festive rhyming picture book celebrating the joy of giving (and making!) gifts at Christmas time. This paperback edition includes a free audio reading.

Princess Eliza is awfully lonely in her beautiful snow palace. Stuck inside all day with no one to play with, she's become brilliant at building her own toys. Eliza can make anything with a few bits of wood and some string! Anything, that is, except the thing she wants most... a friend. As she sets off to find one, Eliza stumbles across a wintry grotto full of elves - but oh dear! Santa is poorly and there are still so many presents to make! Could Princess Eliza be just the person to save Christmas?
