Should I have guessed from the title that this was a loose retelling of A Christmas Carol? Probably. Anyway despite the fact I'm not a fan of that story I still really enjoyed Tom Fletchers version, I mean how could I not when it includes a magical dinosaur?
The fourth instalment to the Christmasaurus series was a lovely and fun read, with brilliant illustrations that bring everything to life.
William and Co have to save Christmas after accidentally letting Scrooge out of his book.
A story of friendship, bravery and belief. Lovely.

‘ ‘Music is a magic like no other - it can do incredible, unexplainable things,' Santa said with a twinkle in his eyes. 'Music can make you feel happy when you're sad; it can make you want to get up and dance. It can remind us of people who are no longer with us, or send us off to faraway places…’ ‘

Tom Fletchers has done it again another 5 star read. He makes the Christmasauras world so magical and so mesmerising that you get fully lost in the book and the story that’s happing. The illustrations are absolutely stunning and really amazing and they really bring the story to life more. I absolutely loved the whole story and the characters in this book were all so well written and they all worked well together obviously my favourite characters are William and the Christmasauras. I really enjoyed the whole Christmas carol vibe to this book as it was unique and so well told. I didn’t want the book to every end as I was enjoying it that much and was so gutted when I finished the last page. I really loved being back with these characters and the Christmasauras the best way to start my December reading. I really hope there is another Christmasaurs book in 2024 as I will be definitely reading it. Xxx
