The Australian Twelve Days Of Christmas 45 Years By Heath Mckenzie

It's December in Australia and the days are getting warmer. When a young woman receives a kookaburra up a gum tree from her true love, it's a sign that Christmas is on the way.

Please do not read this book -- it's way too funny! No, really! The fun never ends in this sidesplitting sequel to Do Not Open This Book! Readers will be determined to reach the end of this hysterical story -- no matter what the little monster on the pages says or does. This time, he's pulled out all the stops to avoid having to go to sleep, and he's up to all kinds of hilarious shenanigans to stay awake! Readers will delight in defying the monster as he brings surprises and excitement to every page! This successful series from popular Australian comedian Andy Lee has sold over one million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 35 languages.

But what about Santa? Where does he go? What does he do through the year? Does he sleep in? Or sneak out? Or check his lists twice? Or play games with all the reindeer? Ever wondered what Santa does when it's not Christmas? Perhaps you'll find him where you least expect! Featuring Santa, reindeer, a Christmas tree angel, elves, nutcrackers and gingerbread families, this is a very Merry Christmas surprise for all to unwrap!

Follow Mum as she spends the day with her kids, and laugh along with all the hilarious things they say and do! Dave Hughes and Holly Ife have written a clever follow up to How Not to Annoy Dad with the perfect guide for HOW NOT TO ANNOY MUMS EVERYWHERE!* (*Definitely, maybe, not entirely based on real life...)
