Hot on the blasting bum of the popular Dragon with the Blazing Bottom series, this zany take on Clement C. Moore's ' The Night Before Christmas ' classic is rip-roaringly good fun to read aloud. While its infectious energy is unlikely to settle little ones down for the night, it will certainly super-charge them with seasonal excitement!
While all the grownups are asleep on Christmas Eve, one little girl spies something that doesn’t seem right — “how come that Santa looks more like a knight?” she wonders. Turns out, Santa has been detained in Spain and Sir Wayne and Dragon have stepped in to save Christmas.
Cue a whole lot of onomatopoeic chaos, and a rather brilliant couplet that might just become a Christmas catchphrase for kids who are treated to this read-aloud triumph: “There’s nothing in life even half as much fun/As a race round the world on a rocketing bum!”
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, ?Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. ?Meanwhile a star-dusted sleigh blazed through the sky, ?With a dragon-shaped reindeer fifty-feet high … ?

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, ? Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. ? Meanwhile a star-dusted sleigh blazed through the sky, ? With a dragon-shaped reindeer fifty-feet high … ?
It's Christmas Eve, but Santa is nowhere to be seen. Luckily, Sir Wayne and Dragon are happy to step in. They know all Santa's moves - they're terrific with tinsel, their wrapping is rocking and just LOOK how much stuff they can fit in a stocking! But that's not all . . . They've got another trick up their sleeve that will make this Christmas go off with a show-stopping, snow-hopping, bum-popping BOOM . . . ?
An explosively funny retelling of Clement C. Moore's classic poem 'The Night Before Christmas' from the bestselling creator of The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom series.
Beach is an illustrator who loves making books. He's had a few different jobs over the years, but his favourite before this one was making pizzas. If you can think of it, he has probably tried it on a pizza. Chips work surprisingly well as a topping. Donuts, not so much.
So far Beach has written the words and drawn the pictures for four picture books: The Dragon with the Blazing Bottom, The Knight with the Blazing Bottom, The Princess with the Blazing Bottom and Big Bad Dragon Club . He's pretty sure you'll enjoy them a lot more than his pizzas.
