Nee Naw's Cracker ChristmasAbout Nee Naw’s Cracker Christmas

From the creator of the bestselling Nee Naw books comes a festive adventure packed with chaos, crackers and Christmas cheer!

It’s Christmas time at Granny’s place and Nee Naw is ready to party! But when those mischievous goats Plinky and Plonky steal a huge Christmas cracker, mayhem erupts. Decorations go flying, the Christmas tree topples, and Ploppy the Cow is trapped in the loo!

Luckily, Nee Naw calls in all his friends to help save the day. With teamwork, tunes and a whole lot of tinsel, they bring the Christmas magic back in time for the big party.

Children will enjoy reacquainting themselves with familiar characters Ellie Copter, Dusty the Digger, Moto Mike the Motorbike and Toot the Tow Truck, as well as Nee Naw himself, as they all reunite in a Christmas calamity!

With a catchy sing-along refrain and a joyful rhyming text by bestselling musician-author Deano Yipadee, this Christmas caper is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Cleverly illustrated by talented artist Bruce Potter, who seamlessly took over the illustrator’s mantle from Paul Beavis.
