The Christmasaurus #3
Der Weihnachtosaurus und die böse Liste
Der Weihnachtsmann kann es nicht fassen: Seine böse Liste wird lang und länger. Plötzlich taucht da ein Name auf, den niemand erwartet hätte: William Trudel, der zweifache Retter des Weihnachtsfests und beste Freund des Weihnachtosaurus! Unverzüglich macht sich der Weihnachtsdino auf die Reise, um herauszufinden, was mit William passiert ist. Unterwegs trifft der Saurier jede Menge Kinder, die auch auf der berüchtigten Liste stehen – und auf einmal geht es um viel mehr, als zwischen Falsch und Richtig zu unterscheiden ...

This was such a fantastic 3rd book! I absolutely loved it! The author switched it up even more in this one, by having the main focus on the Christmasaurus, & we don’t even see William until way later in the book. At 1st I didn’t know what I thought of that, but I actually really enjoyed it! It was a nice change up, & it was great spending some quality time with my favorite blue dinosaur lol He had a great task, & a grand adventure in here, & I also loved all the characters we meet in here, & their stories. This was just as cozy, heartwarming, charming, beautiful, & full of great messages as the others were. And of course, almost every page is full of the most stunning illustrations by Shane Devries. Not to mention the beautiful cover front & back, end pages, & naked hardback! Highly recommend this whole series!💜

Das kann ja heiter werden! Der Weihnachtosaurus hat einen Wackelzahn und der Weihnachtsmann macht sich Sorgen um Weihnachten. Das Gleichgewicht der Listen mit den guten und den bösen Kindern ist aus der Balance geraten. Die bösen Kinder haben überhand genommen, sogar William Trudel steht mit auf der Liste der unartigen Kinder. Da der Weihnachtsmann nicht eingreifen darf, macht der Weihnachtosaurus sich auf den Weg, die bösen Kinder in liebe Kinder zu verwandeln, denn sonst wird Weihnachten ausfallen
Auch das dritte Buch um den Weihnachtosaurus, William Trudel und den Weihnachtsmann ist absolut gelungen. Das Cover leuchtet wieder im weihnachtlichen Goldton, es ist gespickt mit vielen schönen Illustrationen und das Spiel mit dem Text, macht es zu einem absoluten Augenschmaus beim Vor- oder Selberlesen. Ob die bösen Kinder wirklich böse sind, oder Gründe haben so zu agieren, wie sie es tun, mochte ich sehr gerne. Vielleicht sollte man nicht voreilig jemanden verurteilen, sondern sich auch seine Motive ansehen. Was nicht automatisch bedeutet, dass man das Geschehen als gut befinden. kann oder sollte. Allerdings gefiel mir der Weihnachtosaurus-Fall, der von einem Mädchen handelt, dass mit den vegetarischen Kochkünsten ihrer Mutter nicht glücklich ist und als Lösung ein Zauberkochbuch erhält, nicht besonders gut. Ansonsten war es wieder schön weihnachtlich und ich kann nur hoffen, dass dem Autoren Tom Fletcher noch viele Abenteuer für den Weihnachtosaurus und seinen Freunden einfällt.

Weihnachten & Dinosaurier? Passt das zusammen? JA! Schon mit dem ersten Teil dieser Reihe hat Tom Fletcher bewiesen, dass der Weihnachtsmann eben nicht zwingend auf ein Rentier mit roter Nase angewiesen ist, sondern es auch ein verfressener, blauer Dinosaurier mit einem riesigen Herzen tut.
In „The Christmasaurus and the naughty list“ (bisher noch nicht auf Deutsch erschienen) stürzen wir uns in ein neues Abendteuer rund um den Weihnachtsmann, den Weihnachtosaurus und natürlich William Trundle.
Während mich „Der Weihnachtosaurus und die Winterhexe“ nicht ganz so sehr vom Hocker reißen konnte, wie es seinerzeit der erste Teil getan hat, so hat es dieser nunmehr dritte Teil geschafft, mir ganz große Herzchenaugen und ein riesiges Grinsen ins Gesicht zu zaubern – und zwar so richtig.
Es ist Anfang Dezember und Weihnachten steht vor der Tür. Im Weihnachtshauptquartier am Nordpol laufen die Vorbereitungen auf Hochtouren und auch der Weihnachtsmann kommt seinen alljährlichen Pflichten nach, einer insbesondere … und zwar dem Prüfen der Naughty und der Nice Liste; die Liste der braven und der unartigen Kinder. Leider macht der Weihnachtsmann hierbei eine sehr beunruhigende Entdeckung: es stehen viel zu viele Namen auf der Liste der unartigen Kinder. Das Gleichgewicht ist aus den Fugen geraten. Sollte es nicht wiederhergestellt werden, so könnte dies das endgültige Aus für Weihnachten bedeuten. Doch leider sind dem Weihnachtsmann die Hände gebunden. Er hat einen Eid geschworen, sich nicht in die Geschehnisse rund um Weihnachten einzumischen; es ist ihm also weder erlaubt, noch möglich, einzugreifen und das Gleichgewicht wiederherzustellen. Doch nur weil es dem Weihnachtsmann nicht erlaubt ist, einzugreifen, bedeutet dies natürlich nicht, dass sich nicht seine kleinen und großen Helferlein um dieses Desaster kümmern können. Und wer wäre besser dazu geeignet, die unartigen Kinder zu bekehren und ihnen auf die Liste der braven Kinder zu verhelfen, als der Weihnachtosaurus? Jetzt liegt es also ganz allein an ihm, Weihnachten zu retten.
Wir alle machen Fehler, doch das Wichtigste ist es, dass wir sie erkennen, richtigstellen und daraus lernen. Und genau das vermittelt uns dieses Buch. Dieses Buch steckt voll von Magie, Weihnachtszauber und ganz vielen wichtigen Lektionen fürs Leben: es ist nie zu spät, einen Fehler wieder gutzumachen; daraus zu lernen und es beim nächsten Mal einfach besser zu machen.
Das Buch besteht aus vielen einzelnen Geschichten rund um Kinder, die zunächst – aus welchen Gründen auch immer – auf der Liste der Unartigen gelandet sind und die mit Hilfe des Weihnachtosaurus ihre Fehler erkennen und versuchen, sie wieder gutzumachen. Nicht alle von ihnen haben diese Fehler bewusst begangen; viele sind einfach hineingerutscht, in diese verfahrene Situation und haben gar nicht bemerkt, wie sehr sich nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch den Menschen, die ihnen nahestehen, damit schaden. Andere wiederum haben einfach nur jemanden gebraucht, der ihnen die Augen öffnet; ihnen zeigt, was sie mit ihrem Verhalten angerichtet haben und ihnen einen kleinen Schubs in die richtige Richtung gibt.
Es sind gefühlvolle, herzzerreißende und emotionale Festtagesgeschichten, die sich am Ende zu diesem ganz wundervollen Buch vereinen; ein regelrechtes Juwel auf dem Kinder- und Weihnachtsbuchmarkt.
Dieses Buch macht nicht nur Spaß, es berührt auch und wenn man die letzte Seite liest, den Buchdeckel zuklappt und es für einen Moment ganz fest an sich drückt, wird einem ganz warm ums Herz, weil diese Geschichte so unglaublich viel Wahres enthält; so viele wunderbare Botschaften für eine bessere Welt als die, in die wir leben; Botschaften, die uns zeigen, was im Leben wirklich wichtig ist. Nicht all das teure Spielzeug, sondern die Menschen und das, was wir für sie tun.
Die Kirsche on top sind natürlich – wie auch schon in den beiden Vorgängern – die wunderschönen Illustrationen, an denen man sich gar nicht satt sehen kann.
Ich bin hin und weg, mal wieder, überlaufen mit so vielen Emotionen, dass ich gar nicht weiß, wohin damit und verliebt bis über beide Ohren. Danke Tom Fletcher, danke für diese Bücher, danke für den Weihnachtosaurus und danke für all den Weihnachtszauber.

I feel so harsh giving this book only 3 stars but a lot of it is because Tom Fletcher has set the standards so high with the first two Christmasaurus books!
This book kept the inclusion elements just as well as the previous ones, with elves and people of all shapes and colours across all the pages. All the children’s stories in the book were different and they all came from different backgrounds. There was one child who had a working mum and a stay at home dad which was awesome to see! The individual stories of each child were filled with lessons of kindness and acceptance and helping each other and learning not to be selfish. Some of them did make you feel all warm inside, especially the first story of Ronnie! What a sweet boy he turned out to be!
I love how Fletcher’s theme is that children are not all naughty and not all nice but rather a bit of a mix of both which definitely applies in the classroom!!
However, I thought the layout of the story and the way it was told became very repetitive and predictable, and I hate how William became an afterthought in this book!! I feel like a lot of the same Christmassy feeling the other books give so well was lost a little too as it was focused mainly on the lists in the run up to Christmas! William’s story I feel was crammed in at the end and read as though it was rushed and the ending was predictable - I would have loved the whole book to be about just William’s story with more detail and development and plot twists!!
There was also a LOT of shameless self-promotion and references to Fletcher’s other books in here, which I can understand, but did put me off a little bit. Not all children will have the chance to read his other books so wouldn’t understand the references, plus it just gets a little bit annoying when you have ‘there’s a book about that too…’ several times in a story! Sorry not sorry!
I did love the character development of the Christmasaurus though! He’s found his life purpose and takes pride in his world helping children which is so sweet! I don’t necessarily think this book is useless to the Christmasaurus series, but it’s definitely not my favourite!

I enjoyed this more than the second book. This was heartwarming, sweet and funny! And, of course, captures the Christmas spirit perfectly.

Яка ж це прекрасна різдвяна серія! Дуже сподіваюсь, що її колись екранізують 🎄
В 3 частині розповідається про дітей із списку Нечемнюхів - що саме вони зробили, що опинились в цьому списку і як виправлялись. Дуже повчальні історії.

Crăciunozaurul și lista copiilor obraznici -Tom Fletcher -volumul al III-lea.
Exact cum sugerează și titlul cărții, acest volum este despre "Lista Obraznicilor".Dar oare cine o întocmește, care pot fi greșelile ce te pot transforma din copil cuminte în copil obraznic și mai ales cine sunt și ce au făcut?
✍️ "Există cineva care te vede când dormi și știe când ești treaz, iar eu bănuiesc că din moment ce poate face pe amândouă aceste lucruri, atunci știe fără îndoială dacă ai fost Rău sau Bun. Vorbesc, fără îndoială, de grasul însuși, de stăpânul celui mai important dintre a anotimpuri, de Domnul Crăciunescu, Moș Nicolae, Marele Bărbos, sau, cum îl vom numi în această carte, de Moș Crăciun.
Lista Obraznicilor sau a Cuminților nu înseamnă numai diferența dintre a primi jucării sau nu, este vorba de priceperea copiilor de a deosebi binele de rău, ce-i corect de ce e greșit, obrăznicia de cumințenie, mai este vorba și de bucuria, căldură pe care o simți când descoperi cadoul pe care ți l-ai dorit.
Dacă nu ați citit primele două volume ale Crăciunozaurului, "Moș Crăciun este un personaj uriaș, fantastic și vesel, cu ochi albaștri ca Oceanul Arctic și barbă albă ca gheața. Locuiește la Polul Nord într-o cabană din lemn de pin dintr-o fermă de zăpadă, acompaniat de niște spiriduși binedispusi care canta tot anul. Moșul zboară cu o sanie trasă de opt reni zburatori vrăjiți și condusă de unicul, inegalabilul "Crăciunozaur".
Moș Crăciun verifică listele de două ori pe an, odată la început de decembrie și încă odată în Ajunul Crăciunului. Și pentru prima oară de când era el Moș, "Lista Obraznicilor " nu se afla în echilibru cu "Lista Cuminților", lucru ce poate duce la o lume fără Moș Crăciun.
Studiind Lista Obraznicilor, Moșul si Crăciunozaurul îl descoperă printre șirul de nume și pe William Trundle, da, da ați citit bine, exact ACEL William.
Crăciunozaurul este decis să ajute copiii să redevină cuminti, așa că purtat de magia Listei Obraznicilor se îndreaptă către aceștia hotărât să încline balanța.
💁Primul copil la care a ajuns, Ronnie Nutbog, este un copil care le cere, îi constrânge pe copii să-i dea banii de mâncare.
✍️Scopul nu scuză mijloacele, indiferent cât de nobil este el.
De ce cere Ronnie acești bani, care este motivul din spatele constrangerii, dacă reușește Crăciunozaurul să-l ajute și să se regăsească iar numele lui pe Lista Cumintilor, rămâne să descoperiți.
🤼♀️Cu Adevărat și Intru Totul Naspesus, sunt două prințese cu adevărat răsfățate, ce aveau camerele de joacă PLINE de jucării, încât ÎNOTAU în ele, dar nu se JUCAU cu ele.
✍️"Singurul cu care trebuie să concurezi este cu tine însuți."
Oare o să reușească Crăciunozaurul și în cazul prințeselor?
🧒🏓Martiv Johnson a fost fratele minunat, perfect până când a primit de Crăciun un GameBox și a devenit Jucatorul3000, a devenit dependent de ecrane.
Lecția pe care o să o învețe:
✍️Promisiunea rămâne promisiune.
👩🏽⚖️🥬Ella Noying, știu că și voi ați recunoscut-o din cartea Scârții și probabil că vă întrebați (cum am făcut-o și noi) care este legătură între faptul că nu mănâncă legume si faptul ca se află pe lista obraznicilor .O să aflați de ce
✍️și-a alinat mama cu o minciună și nu a rănit-o cu adevărul
👱♀️🎤Gemolina Shine, este o domnișoară ce de mică i-a plăcut să fie în lumina reflectoarelor, nu concepe să nu fie așa, iar pentru solo-ul de Crăciun a luptat pentru atingerea acestui scop, în n mod crud, neomenos, fără a ține seamă de nimic; a fost lipsită de scrupule
✍️"Omul cu adevărat bun este acela care ar fi putut sa facă rău, dar a ales să nu-l facă.
🧑🦽William, ce ar fi putut face acest copil care a salvat de două ori până acum Crăciunul, încât să ajungă pe lista aceasta?
Cu această întrebare și dorință de a afla am parcurs 80% din carte. De aceea mi se pare just să o faceți și voi.
"Tăcerea este cea mai îngrozitoare minciună "
Damian, 6 ani și 8 luni, vă face o scurtă povestire a acestui volum

✍️ Am știut mereu că niciun copil nu-i cu totul și cu totul obraznic, la fel cum nu-i nici cu totul cu totul cuminte. Copiii cuminti pot face obraznicii ,iar copiii obraznici pot redeveni cuminți, de aceea merită toată lumea încă o șansă.
O nouă șansă nu poate fi împachetată frumos și lăsată sub pom, și deseori e lucrul cel mai greu de dăruit cuiva, dar o nouă șansă poate schimba o viață!

(4.5⭐)
Je crois que c'est la première fois que je ne mets pas 5⭐ à un livre du Noëlosaure mais, bien que j'ai passé un excellent moment, je l'ai trouvé un peu moins parfait que les deux précédents.
Pourquoi cela ? me direz-vous... Eh bien tout d'abord, même si j'ai adoré avoir le point de vue du Christmasaurus et non pas celui de William cette fois-ci, j'ai été perturbé par le fait que l'on ne voit quasiment pas ce dernier...ou en tout cas vraiment pas assez, et seulement à la toute toute fin du roman.. 😢
J'ai aussi trouvé que l'ambiance était moins féerique et Noëlesque que d'habitude, surtout lorsqu'on arrive chez les Trundle, aka les Rois de Noël...en tout cas d'habitude 🙈 On passe aussi très peu de temps au Pôle Nord..
Ces deux précédents points font que c'était un poil moins bon que le tome 1 et 2, MAIS c'était quand même génial !
J'ai adoré découvrir tous ces enfants qui n'ont pas été sages et voir qu'il n'existe pas de "tout bon" ou "tout mauvais". On nous montre l'importance d'avoir l'opportunité de se rattraper et d'avoir une seconde chance. La morale était vraiment chouette.
Niveau diversité on est encore une fois au top, avec des personnages (humains comme elfes d'ailleurs) grands, petits, noirs, blancs, gros, maigres, blonds, bruns, handicapés.. On retrouve également une grande diversité dans les familles présentées. 👌🏻
La mise en page et les illustrations de Shane Devries sont absolument parfaites, comme toujours. Je suis vraiment fan des différentes typos que l'on retrouve à chaque page, des mises en pages qui ne sont pas du tout linéaires et apportent vraiment un petit quelque chose en plus !
Vous l'aurez compris, je n'aurai de cesse de conseiller cette saga jeunesse qui est devenue pour moi une lecture indispensable lors du temps des fêtes 🎄

Eh bien tout d'abord, même si j'ai adoré avoir le point de vue du Christmasaurus et non pas celui de William cette fois-ci, j'ai été perturbé par le fait que l'on ne voit quasiment pas ce dernier...ou en tout cas vraiment pas assez, et seulement à la toute toute fin du roman.. 😢
J'ai aussi trouvé que l'ambiance était moins féerique et Noëlesque que d'habitude, surtout lorsqu'on arrive chez les Trundle, aka les Rois de Noël...en tout cas d'habitude 🙈 On passe aussi très peu de temps au Pôle Nord..
Ces deux précédents points font que c'était un poil moins bon que le tome 1 et 2, MAIS c'était quand même génial !
J'ai adoré découvrir tous ces enfants qui n'ont pas été sages et voir qu'il n'existe pas de "tout bon" ou "tout mauvais". On nous montre l'importance d'avoir l'opportunité de se rattraper et d'avoir une seconde chance. La morale était vraiment chouette.
Niveau diversité on est encore une fois au top, avec des personnages (humains comme elfes d'ailleurs) grands, petits, noirs, blancs, gros, maigres, blonds, bruns, handicapés.. On retrouve également une grande diversité dans les familles présentées. 👌🏻
La mise en page et les illustrations de Shane Devries sont absolument parfaites, comme toujours. Je suis vraiment fan des différentes typos que l'on retrouve à chaque page, des mises en pages qui ne sont pas du tout linéaires et apportent vraiment un petit quelque chose en plus !
Vous l'aurez compris, je n'aurai de cesse de conseiller cette saga jeunesse qui est devenue pour moi une lecture indispensable lors du temps des fêtes 🎄

I liked it a lot because there was a lot of characters in the story and they all just was either mean or something hurt them

Auch Band 3 ist wundervoll, berührend und zauberhaft. Ich liebe Dinos.

Tak toto prekvapivo padlo ako riťka na šerblík momentálne 😂❤️.

Der dritte Teil der Reihe rund um William Trundle und den Christmasaurus war wieder herzerwärmend und weihnachtlich, genau wie seine Vorgänger. Mir hat gut gefallen, dass es dieses Mal besonders um den Christmasaurus und seine Mission der zweiten Chancen ging. Durch die sechs Kinder, um die es ging, war es leider etwas repetitiv. Trotzdem ein sehr schönes Kinderbuch, das man super in der Adventszeit verschlingen kann 🥰❄️🎄

sigh. so i thought i hadn't rated the first two books, but i guess it was just the frist one. i'm not sure if i'll actually put the rating up, because this feels like it should be 2 stars. it wasn't anywhere near as magical as the first two books, and it felt really formulaic and predictable in a way that really didn't work for me. the second book had some good stuff about the one naughty character learning to be nice, and how sometimes she still slipped up, how everyone can be naughty and nice at the same time, etc. and this felt like a rehash of that theme...but an entire book. also, for such a nice, inclusive series, i was shocked to find harmful stereotypes here.
a note:
if you love this book/series, please just enjoy it. if you don't want to read my negative thoughts, just stop here. i don't want to put anyone off these books, but i want to write my thoughts here for future me to reference = )
a few vague things that bothered me: the bully who is a bully For A Good Reason and the gamer who does nothing but play games and ignore the real world. i'm someone who was bullied, and my boyfriend is a gamer, and i'm honestly tired of seeing things oversimplified like this. sure, you can see bullies as complicated people with lives you don't know about and hardships that make them who they are. but that NEVER should excuse bullying. and doing a bad thing for a good reason isn't a message i can get on board with. i'm really sensitive to this type of nonsense, and i wanted the bully to realize what they were doing wrong and make things right and NOT be rewarded. it felt like the equivalent of a participation trophy. no one deserves an award for learning how to be a halfway decent human. no. just no.
gamers also have to deal with the idea that they hide away on their computers or whatever, and are unaware of the outside world. like they can't enjoy a hobby because someone has decided it's a waste of time, lazy, for kids, unhealthy, etc. and the character in this book took it to that stereotypical extreme. and i hated it. if you're trying to teach kids something with a flat caricature, teach them to see beyond a stereotypical portrayal of that type of character. show them not everything they heard about is true. and especially for the gamer, show them still gaming at the end and NOT just giving it up entirely because it's toxic.
there's also a character who sneaks out of their house, which we learn is Very Wrong, and the reader is directly addressed and told it's a Bad Thing. then once we see the christmasaurus with william...well, it's time to set a final thing right! and they casually sneak out and stay out all night and absolutely nothing is mentioned about how or why that's different than what the other character did. except that it's, again, doing a bad thing for a good reason.
when it comes down to it, i'm an adult reading a book for kids. it wasn't written with me in mind, but i also don't like to see things dumbed down or oversimplified in a way that supposedly reaches kids. kids aren't stupid...they're just younger.
i also saw another reviewer mention how annoying the references to fletcher's other books were, and YES! i guess since this is the end of this series, he's plugging his other books for you to buy? idk, really tacky in my opinion. there was a thing in maybe the first book( ?) that mentioned something like, "oh, that's because his father was a creaker"...and i knew it as another series by this author, and thought i might check it out, and then i moved on. this was in your face like DON'T FORGET TO GET MY OLDE BOOKS AND WATCH OUT FOR NEW ONES, KIDS! and yeah. just really shameless and i didn't appreciate it.
so definitely not my favorite of the series, and if i ever reread them, i'll probably just go for the first two. though i did enjoy spending so much time with the christmasaurus!!

Terzo libro della serie del Christmasaurus che, devo ammettere, non stanca mai. In questo volume, il vero protagonista è il Christmasaurus stesso che cerca di aiutare a diventare buoni i bambini che sono finiti nella Lista dei Cattivi. Ovviamente non è un'impresa facile, ma con la sua buona volontà di aiutare il Natale, il nostro dinosauro preferito ce la metterà tutta.
In questo volume, abbiamo una divisione in parti dove il nostro protagonista cerca di aiutare un bambino diverso. Anche se uno dei cliché che odio di più è quello della redenzione, ho trovato che in questo libro non fosse troppo marcato, perché sì, si parla comunque di una redenzione ma i protagonisti sono dei bambini. In generale, è un libro che parla di seconde possibilità ma anche di come poter crescere per diventare persone migliori. Ciò che i bambini fanno per finire nella Lista dei Cattivi, per noi adulti non sembrano sciocchezze, perché alcune cose sono effettivamente gravi. Quanti di noi, però, hanno fatto le stesse cose durante la propria infanzia? Penso un po' tutti, in un modo o nell'altro. Quindi, sono convinta che un bambino che legge questo libro, e si rivede in una o più storie, possa davvero comprendere che comportarsi in un determinato modo è sbagliato.
Ed è proprio questo che ho amato dei libri di Tom Fletcher: insegnano sempre qualcosa. Ciò potrebbe sembrare ovvio per una serie per bambini, ma non è sempre così. L'autore lo fa in maniera esplicita per noi adulti e in maniera più sottile per i bambini. Inoltre, il suo stile di scrittura divertente e le bellissime illustrazioni di Shane Devries catturano il lettore e non lo distolgono dalla lettura.
Unica pecca di questo libro, secondo me, è stata la storia su Ella Noying:
In generale, però, consiglio tantissimo questa serie di libri, anche a chi non mastica particolarmente l'inglese poiché è estremamente facile e divertente!

Nachdem William Trudel bereits zweimal das Weihnachtsfest gerettet hat, ist es für den Weihnachtsmann nahezu unfassbar, dass eben dieser plötzlich auf der berüchtigten Liste der unartigen Kinder erscheint. Und auch der Weihnachtosaurus kann nicht glauben, was er da sieht. Kurzum macht er sich auf den Weg, um herauszufinden, was sein bester Freund denn überhaupt schlimmes getan haben soll.
Unterwegs trifft er auf weitere Kinder, die sich einen Platz auf der gefürchteten Liste „verdient“ haben. Dementsprechend haben wir viele kleinere Geschichten, die man theoretisch auch eigenständig lesen könnte. Jede von ihnen vermittelt wichtige und wunderbare Botschaften und beschäftigt sich damit, was richtig oder falsch ist. Themen wie Mobbing, Teilen, Empathie, Zusammenhalt und Ehrlichkeit werden aufgegriffen und das auf kindgerechte und nachvollziehbare Art und Weise. Der Schreibstil ist insgesamt humorvoll, unterhaltsam und sehr kurzweilig. Witzig finde ich auch, dass die Wichtel ausschließlich in Reimen und Gesang kommunizieren. Außerdem spricht Tom Fletcher die Lesenden immer wieder direkt an und bezieht auch sich selbst als Autoren mit ein. Sehr gelungen!
Besonders erwähnenswert sind über 100 wunderschöne, supersüße und detaillierte Illustrationen von Shane Devries. Diese haben mich bereits in den beiden Vorgängern sehr begeistert und tun es auch weiterhin.
Dieser dritte Teil um den Weihnachtosaurus, den Weihnachtsmann, die Wichtel sowie William und die anderen Kinder ist ein Highlight für die ganze Familie.

After already reading the first two in this series I was excited to read this! It's become a bit of a tradition in our house the last few years to read a Christmasaurus over the festive period. This one was read with my 8 year old.
This was different to the last two books in that it didn't focus so much on William & the Christmasaurus' friendship. It was more about Christmasaurus and saving Christmas! We didn't really hear from William until near the end of the book.
It was very inclusive like the other books which was good to see. There were references to Tom's other books too - I got these, but my 8yo hasn't read those so he didn't, but he didn't really question it either.
We both found it a bit predictable though - and I noticed a few editing errors which bugs me even more in a traditionally published book as big as this 🫣
Overall it was still a lovely book and what I've come to expect from Tom Fletcher's kids books, but it wasn't my favourite in the series!
4.5⭐️

Unfortunately for me each book in this series gets weaker :(
This book follows the Christmasaurus as he spends the month of December helping children on the naughty list get back onto the nice list on the lead up to Christmas. Unfortunately his best friend William Trundle, the nicest kid ever, is also on the naughty list.
90% of this book was following everyone BUT William Trundle and for me what makes the Christmasaurus books so magical is following the friendship between the Christmasaurus and William as well as the rest of the gang; Santa, the elves, Bob and Brenda. We didn't get to see any of these characters until the last like 70 pages, as the Christmasaurus spends most of the book helping characters (we've never met before in this universe) get off the naughty list.
Due to the format of this book it felt like lots of mini short stories as each characters reasons of being on the naughty list was different and I don't think they flowed naturally and left for a stilted reading experience.
This book is great for younger readers, and I know that's the target audience but seeing as I loved the first one and enjoyed the second, I felt disappointed by this third book. The lessons for kids in this book are amazing! 2 of my favourite quotes from the book are...
"Thanks to him (the Christmasaurus) they had all rediscovered the importance of being nice and it wasn't only because they wanted presents...Ok, maybe it was a little bit, but most importantly it was because, well its nice to be nice."
&
"Second chances can't be wrapped up and left under the tree, and often they are the hardest things to give someone, but one second chance can change a life."
The BEST bit was the last 80ish pages when were were in fact reintroduced to William Trundle and the rest of the gang and FINALLY after 350ish pages we were back with the magic of the original Christmasaurus story!

What a perfect ending to the series (although I am very much hoping that Fletcher releases another in time for Christmas this year!!) As a family, we loved this book. Absolutely loved it. The children couldn’t wait to start it straight after number two and they found it easier to read/listen to than the complexity of the time travel in book 2. This was a return to the form of book one. The author had them hooked from early on with the mention of a certain person on the Naughty List and they couldn’t wait to keep reading to see what would happen. This really has been one of THE best experiences- reading this series to my children. They have loved it, I have loved their reactions, their excitement, their desire to read more. I cannot recommend this enough ❤️

Mein Jahr endet mit diesem süßen Buch und ich bin so froh, dass ich vor 2 Jahren den ersten Band entdeckt und gelesen habe. Die Illustrationen und die anderen Extras finde ich so gut gemacht und man kann es so gut weglesen. Alleine, der Humor, den der Autor in diese Geschichte einfließen lässt. Es ist als rede das Buch mit dir. Ob ein Dritter erscheint weiß ich nicht, aber lesen werde ich es sicher. 🥰

Ich liebe die Abenteuer des Weihnachtosaurus! Jedoch liebe ich ich auch William und der kam in diesem Band leider nur am Rande vor. Das hat mir gefehlt und deshalb schneidet der dritte Band für mich persönlich etwas schlechter ab, als die Vorgänger. Trotzdem: Die Geschichten von Tom Fletcher sind so voller Fantasie und Magie, dass sich jeder Band alleine deswegen mehr als lohnt.

A fun, sweet, heartwarming book with fabulous illustrations & great typography too! Loved the Christmasaurus character & reading the book gave me that warm tingly Christmas feeling! I haven't read the previous 2 books, but I want to now!

Still loved my adventure with the Christmasaurus but I didn't love it as much as the other two.
I still however recommend it as it has all the different aspects of the first 2 but I'm not sure what it was with this one.
Still a lovely wholesome Christmas tale

What can I say about this book? This is another lovely Christmas tale following the adventures of Chrissy the Christmasaurus. The naughty list outweighs the nice list and Christmasaurus needs to help balance it. Various children are on the list for various reasons including William Trundle.
A heart warming story about friendship, honesty, and being nice. A brilliant middle grade story I'd recommend to all.

These books are just so adorable. I loved the way the Christmasarus helped them.

Read this to my daughter in the lead up to Christmas. Reading the Christmasaurus books has become a Christmas tradition over the last three years. I think this was my favourite one.

Such an easy and enjoyable read. The first Christmasaurus book is still my favourite but this one was brilliant.
