From Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted duo, Simon Philip and Lucia Gaggiotti, comes a Christmas caper with the beloved heroine of the I Really Want series.
It's Christmas time again! Hooray!
But when I hear my parents say,
"There's just SO much to do!" each day,
I shout, "Don't fret, I'll help!"
They both protest, but I insist
I'm well prepared and have a list
of things to sort so nothing's missed.
I don't need ANY help!
Christmas may be the best time of year, but there's SO MUCH to do. This is what one little girl discovers when she tries to help her parents by doing EVERYTHING herself - with chaotic consequences! Will she get everything done before the big day? And what will she do if a special visitor really needs her help?
This bouncy, rhyming tale makes the perfect story for the build-up to Christmas with themes of self-confidence, teamwork and asking for help. Read more adventures in the series: I Really Want the Cake, I Really Want to Win, I Really Want to Shout and I Really Want to Share.
