Mr Pottifer’s shop is all ready for Christmas.

The mince pies are delicious, the mistletoe happily hanging, and the shop pets dressed for the occasion. The last customer they expect is Santa himself!

Santa has a BIG problem. All of his reindeer have the flu. Who is going to pull the sleigh?

Mr Pottifer’s Parlour of Plants isn’t just any shop. There are magical items on these shelves. But just when they fix one problem, another comes along.

It’s back to Mr P’s for some more magic. Nothing can stop Christmas!

A large format picture book in full colour and rhyme with a magical tale to tell. Sick reindeer and rascally replacements, along with a sunk sleigh and some plant magic.

This picture book has it all. It’s funny, and full of action. There’s more than one problem to solve, and it’s a tension filled time as a special shopkeeper and friends save Christmas.
