A Message For Santa by Hiawyn Oram
A classic Christmas tale from award-winning Hiawyn Oram and favourite illustrator Tony Ross about a little girl who isn't looking forward to Santa paying a visit this Christmas. Emily loves Christmas, but there is something about it which makes her heart sink: Santa Claus. Emily wants to block up the chimney and write Santa a note asking him kindly not to visit. But everyone's afraid of something, even Santa, and he may be more understanding than she thought...
