This book was totally cute and something I can see myself using in my teaching career. The characters are endearing. The story is so easy to read!

I picked this book up just to read the first chapter, to get a feel of what it was all about. Two hours later, I realised I'd read the whole book without stopping! I absolutely LOVED IT!
Keris Stainton immerses you into the gorgeous little town of Pinewood, which is something like the Christmassy towns you see on the Christmas channel. It's seriously heartwarming and you soon discover the Christmas spirit has embraced you. I seriously want to visit shops such as Our Daily Bread and Kate's Kakes.
Lily and James are adorable, but I do think the star of the book has to be Bug the Pug. I won't let out any secrets, but readers, you are going to love him!
All the characters are adorable yet current, which will help to make this a modern day classic.
This book could easily be made into a film. And it has the potential for merchandise with it. I want a Bug Pug soft toy! Seriously, someone pass this book onto Debbie Isitt, the director of the Nativity films, because I'm positive she will love it.
Everyone Christmas I normally recommend a book to go into a child's Christmas stocking, this will be the book I'm recommending this year.
I really hope we get to revisit Pinewood and it's inhabitants again one day as I'm sure that town has more magic hidden within it.

I have literally wanted to read ALL the Christmas books this year, so when I saw the gorgeous cover for Lily and the Christmas Wish, I could not wait to pick this up.
This is such a cute, magical story that I picked up and then realised I had finished it within 2 hours. Lily and the Christmas Wish is a great read for all ages and the fact that I finished this so quickly, shows you how easily it was to get lost in this gorgeous little story.
Keris Stanton transports us to the wonderful little village of Pinewood at Christmas time, with shops like Kates Kakes and of course wonderful characters. Lily and her brother James are so sweet and don't get me started on Bug the Pug! I desperately want a talking pug now.
I think what really stood out for me whilst reading this was how it managed to be diverse in it's story telling, that I found very refreshing.
A wonderful, magical short story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Christmas time.
