Reviews
Carys Bexington's witty and ingenious rewriting of the poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas', to incorporate language and characters from Lewis Carroll, tells a rollicking story in which the Queen of Hearts learns the first rule of Christmas: be kind. The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland is illustrated by Kate Hindley with stylish inventiveness and touches of madness and modernity.The Times
A true Christmassy delight.Mail on Sunday
The most magnificent mash-up of two well-loved stories. This hilarious adventure through the night sky to wonderland is a pure delight to read.Baby Magazine
A glorious mash-up of two classic stories. Hindley’s illustrations are a delight – both warm and friendly, and full of expressive characters with many a curious creature to spot, and Bexington’s narrative brims with charm. Full of madness and mayhem this collision of Christmas and Wonderland is a spectacular event not to be missed.Emma Dunn and Sandra Mallon, The Scotsman
