Try the Christmas hunt
Wrapped parcels crowd the stalls, and Pip is somewhere among the Christmas preparations. Find all five things and tick them off.

Look inside
The tree is ready for its star, but the top branch is bare. Follow the first clues through the Christmas market and bakery. See the opening and the first two hunts.
Their name on the case card starts a search for the missing Christmas star.
How it works
Begin with one photo, then try their Christmas hunt before choosing the hardcover.
We paint them into this snowy Christmas town. Use a clear photo in good light. It stays private.
Check their painted character, then see their cover and first three spreads. No card needed.
Add your Christmas gift message and an optional search partner. Check every finished page and approve it before we print.
Christmas is for sharing
Your child stars on the cover. After ordering, a familiar face can join them among the snowy streets and Christmas parcels, with their own name in every hunt.
You check the additional character’s painted portrait before they join the book. The finder cards and answers follow the same team.
A Christmas gift to keep
Put your Christmas wish on the opening page, beside their named case card. The answers are at the back for a little help between mince pies.
