Harvey Slumfenburger`s Christmas Present

One Christmas Eve, Father Christmas returns home after a hard evening`s present delivering. Having put his reindeer to bed, he is just about to go to sleep himself, when he makes a distressing discovery: there is still one present left in his sack. It is for Harvey Slumfenberger, a poor boy whom Father Christmas knows only ever gets one present - the one that Father Christmas brings him. So, tired as he is, Father Christmas sets out alone for Harvey Slumfenberger`s home far, far away on top of the Roly Poly Mountain. But will he get there on time? The author/illustrator of this picture book, John Burningham, has twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal - for `Borke: The Adventures of a Goose With No Feathers` (1964) and `Mr Gumpy`s Outing` (1970). He has also won the Emil/Kurt Maschler Award for `Granpa` (1984). His other books include `Alphabet`, `Numbers`, `Colours`, `Opposites` and the `Rhymetime` series.
