Summary

The Christmasaurus is a story about a boy named William Trundle and a dinosaur, the Christmasaurus. It's about how they meet one Christmas Eve and have a magical adventure.

It's about friendship and families, sleigh bells and Santa, singing elves and flying reindeer, music and magic. It's about discovering your heart's true desire and learning that the impossible might just be possible....

What a lot of fun! And I don't fit the demographic

OK, I'm an adult, my children have all left home, and I'm still awaiting the arrival of grandchildren, so I don't fit the demographic of this book...
But I loved it! There's a little bit of magic, a bit of jeopardy (not enough to really scare you, you can be pretty sure it will all work out ok...) and there's LOTS of humour, so what is there not to like?
If you want a well-written escape from grown-up books, but without the patronising air of a children's book, then this is not a bad listen - and don't forget, a Christmasaurus is not just for Christmas!

Absolutely brilliant

My children 6 & 4 have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this on school journeys. A wonderful tale full of magic. For some reason unbeknownst to us, our 4year old is adamant that Santa doesn’t exist. However, after listening to this story and all the Christmas magic she is now thoroughly entwined in the magic....yipppeeee. Thank you Tom and can’t wait to listen to the Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch

A Christmas f

I really liked this book because Santa is in it. The dinosaur was cool and William and his dad, Mr Trundel, awesome. I loved listening to this storybook.

So nice !

I am a 32 year old adult, but I admit that I like a lot when someone tells me a story as if I were a child. Here, everything was perfect. The story, the writing and the narrator (except I admit the passages in music).

I had a crazy pleasure from the beginning to the end.

Beautiful story !

Good but could be improved

I think it is a really good book for kids under 8 years but any older they would find it a bit boring could be improved and more age range so you can invoke the other age groups apart from that it is a really good book
