Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face #6
Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Great Kerfuffle Christmas Kidnap
More fun than your average elf! The perfect book to get you in the mood for all the madness of Christmas! Christmas! A time of peace and goodwill ...and presents! But something's not right in Great Kerfuffle - instead of peace there's mayhem, and instead of goodwill there's evil and wickedness. And instead of presents, there's ...NO PRESENTS! Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face have been extra good this year so they know Father Christmas wouldn't forget them. Something must have happened to him - and now it's up to them to save Christmas (or at least find their presents!).

The latest in the Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face series is perfect for Christmas – with lots of festive mayhem and merriment. Of course, our heroes have been very good all year and so they are expecting that Father Christmas will appear with a present, or two. However, with those evil badgers hatching an evil plan – again – then Father Christmas may need a little help this year…
Fear not, though, Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face, are ready to help. Especially when it becomes apparent that there is, not to put too fine a point on it, something really wrong with Christmas that morning. The presents are missing and the pair need to go in search of them and missing Santa. Cue evil laughs, silly jokes, lots of chases and a great adventure. Will Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face find Father Christmas? Will the badgers get a digger for Christmas?
Another winner in the series and great fun. With lots of black and white illustrations to help break up the text, this is ideal for younger children just moving on to longer chapter books. There is a even a Christmas game to play at the end of the book. A great addition to the series and lots of festive fun.

Iltasatuna luin pojalleni (10v). Kumpikin tykättiin tarinasta ja siinä olevasta huumorista. Teksti on mukavan eläväistä myös ihan ulkonäön puolestakin. Ja vaikka en yleensä tykkää, että tarinoissa poukkoillaan, niin näihin kirjoihin se sopii. Ääneen luettunakin tämä oli helppoa lukea.
